Bonhams is hosting an auction of Space History on July 20th. Now is the time to get that full scale Sputnik model for your living room.

Screw VR, I'm getting that Gemini trainer and hooking it up to a couple of monitors.

This is pretty cool but inaccessible to someone like me.

I can't even find a nasa t-shirt that looks reasonable.

My husband and I are big space fans and I was searching for nasa t-shirts to give him for his birthday last week. But I could only find them on sketchie web stores!

Any tips on good resources for decent space swag?

So how can we quietly get a bunch of people together to buy an actual Saturn V Flight Configuration Chart for Randal Munroes birthday or something?
