As you may know Scott Carpenter is the third Mercury astronaut for whom we have been asked to handle artifacts and memorabilia. We consider this a great honor and also a wonderful opportunity to offer the collecting community some very unique items.

The list of astronauts and flight controllers we work with is growing and encourage anyone interested to visit Farthest Reaches and click into either "Astronaut Offerings" or "Kranz/Liebergot" to view personal items available for sale from the archives of:

• Wally Schirra (more items coming)
  
• Gordon Cooper (more items coming)
