After the past few months of emailing and applying for jobs at NASA it is looking as though my dreams are finally coming true. I am having a big sale to make funds to make the move on down to Houston. It's a big step in my life but, I cannot wait to start this adventure.

All prices are negotiable, I believe I put many of them at a great price already. If you write me via eBay please say that you are from collectSPACE — I much rather my items go to someone on here who will really treasure them. Along with astronaut and space related things you will find Star Wars and Star Trek signed items.

Hey some cool stuff -- but if you don't mind me asking, and you're willing to share the info, what job did you land at NASA?

I do not mind at all, I am a younger guy in his twenties and basically landed "a foot in the door" position at their MWR. It's not much but I am happy with going to college and being around where history was made until I myself can work my way up.

Taylor, I have tried emailing to let you know that my payment has been sent and I wondered when I would receive delivery of the items but the email was returned as undelivered. I will try again but have posted here just in case you see this message first. Many thanks.
