I attended the symposium two years ago, and at the actual panel event, no one got autographs, other than by buying on the Bean print that the museum was selling (~$300, if I recall correctly). The astronauts were closely guarded by museum staff, who would not allow them to sign. Cernan told one person he recognized that he would sign for them if they followed him outside to his car, but a museum staff member followed him out to his car to prevent him from signing.(The exceptions were Crippen and Schirra, who attended as audience rather than participants, and who were very gracious) That said, I was told that there was a reception (that I didn't know about in time to make arrangements to attend) at which one could get autographs. Don't have first-hand knowledge of that, but if you plan to attend, it's worth looking into. ------------------
