I'm interested in the technology of music and film production and broadcasting and so on. I find high tech manufacturing very interesting as well. Things like CAD, CNC machines, robots, coordinate measuring machines and so on.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -
You would have liked where I used to work then. Ulf Merbold used to sit in the office next to me and was always popping in asking how to use the office systems (he used to quite often have e-mail problems) and Helen Sharman was quite often around...I still have a few bits and pieces from when I worked in that area.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostI collect items that have been in space or been to the Moon as well as astronaut autographs (verified). Got some rare pieces that should be in a museum.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I have card with a pencil cross on it made on the Moons's surface by the crew of Apollo 15, a silver medal and cert that was carried to the Moon by the crew of Apollo 13 (didn't land).
A US Navy MKIV pressure helmet perhaps used by Neil Armstrong during high high altitude test flights but can't be confirmed as yet.
Almost all of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo crew autographs, some I've met with.
Then there's the ground controllers during that era like Gene Kranz who I talk with.
I could go on...Comment
