Farthest Reaches has just posted some very interesting items for your consideration. When I do these updates I let the Yahoo Groups and collectSPACE know first, particularly in this case since all are "one of." I would rather give you all first choice over the general public whenever possible, so here goes...

Just added and can be accessed by visiting FarthestReaches.com and clicking on the hyperlinks under the thumbnail of each:

  1. Mission Control Badges issued to former NASA Flight Director Neil Hutchinson. Included are his Apollo 8, 11 and 13 badges.

  2. A letter from Wernher von Braun to Scott Carpenter.

  3. An arrest warrant (that's right…an arrest warrant) issued to then Mercury Astronaut Wally Schirra

  4. 8x10 glossy vintage photo from Gordon Cooper's files of his USAF Test Pilot Training Class 56D. Most of his classmates have signed this pic including Gus Grissom!

  5. Gemini 6 and 7 vintage red stamped color glossy hand signed by both flight crews with mission information added.

  6. Two page handwritten letter from actor Mark Harmon to Wally Schirra with great content about his portraying Wally in the "From the Earth to the Moon" HBO miniseries. Lots of personal content.
The following items HAVE NOT yet been posted to the site but am giving anyone interested here first crack at them. I'm working on getting them up as we speak.
  1. Robbins Medallions (sterling silver/not flown):

    Available are missions STS 114 – STS 132. STS 114 (Return to flight), STS 118 (Barbara Morgan), STS 125 (final Hubble repair mission) are priced at $395 each. All of the others are priced at $295 each. All medallions are in as new condition and still in their original boxes. If interested, please email or call directly and I'll be happy to send images out but ask that only people with serious inquiries contact me so that I'm not flooded with requests, ok?

Thanks to all for your continued support as we move into 2016. Happy Holidays to everyone...
