Removed after flight: Astronaut sells flown checklist pages he once wasn't meant to have

Former NASA astronaut Robert "Hoot" Gibson is selling pages from the checklists he used on his first space shuttle mission.

There are two things remarkable about that.

First, in the more than 40 years since he launched as the pilot of mission STS-41B, Gibson has never sold anything that he carried to or used in space, even on his later four flights as commander.

Secondly, he was never supposed to have his flown checklists...
