Travis Thompson is offering Kapton tape from the roll he used for the last space shuttle mission STS-135. The tape offered was left unused on the roll after the final shuttle flight.

This tape is used to protect the seals of the main hatch during closing and is removed before flight. This roll was used on the Space Shuttle Atlantis for its final voyage.

To my knowledge this is the only closeout Kapton tape ever offered to the public and comes on a signed COA from Travis Thompson who was the Astronaut Closeout Crew Chief OVCC#1 for more then 100 space shuttle missions.

Asking price is $50.00 each to collectSPACE members with postage paid in the continental United State. Overseas postage extra.

Someone is selling one of these presentations with a starting price of $29.95 on eBay at the moment.

I would be the one selling on eBay and as I have made an error on the listing price and have fixed it. We already had 12 people watching so I hope that this will sell very well.

This is all to raise money for Travis Thompson. I am not making any money, Taking any commission or charging him any fees for assisting a friend.

Travis is just an awesome individual who has lost his job due to the epidemic and is worried like many Americans about losing a heck of a lot more.
