About Space Flight Collectibles The memorabilia we offer in our store was collected while I was a teenager and wrapped up in the enthusiasm of those early years of the space program. Much of what we offer was collected as part of the research I was doing for projects in local science fairs. The memorabilia in our store are all original and include NASA and contractor brochures, photos, technical reports, press kits and commemorative collectibles. We will be adding new memorabilia on a regular basis. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates on new arrivals. Whether you have an interest in the space program from a historical or technical perspective, or just looking to give someone a unique gift, we're sure you will find the memorabilia in our store of interest. Our store is dedicated to the memory of my parents John and Lorette who never stopped supporting me in my interest in the space program. In July 1969, my Father and I were fortunate to receive a tour of the Kennedy Space Center 3 weeks before the launch of Apollo 11. In this photo I am joined by our NASA host to view the Saturn V/Apollo on Launch Pad 39A surrounded by the Mobile Service Structure. In July 1970, I had the opportunity to meet with Wernher von Braun in his office at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. Dr. von Braun was kind enough to take the time to critique the design I had presented at a local science fair on a space station re-using Gemini and Apollo hardware.
