Authenticity is Everything
R.I.P. Jim Lovell
Slightly late to the announcement, but I understand JIm Lovell (Apollo 13 Commander) passed away late last week at the age of 97. Wanted to acknowledge this, as I know we have several members here who are prolific space collectors (including Steve):
Outside of his major accomplishments and the harrowing A13 story itself, he was (from what I understand) a fairly prolific signer and a great speaker/friend to all that met him. I was fortunate to find a copy of Lost Moon a few years back -- a fantastic read about the A13 program (and, in the anniversary edition, its enduring legacy).
R.I.P. to one of the GOATs of space travel.

That he was still signing into his 90s is very impressive - he's GOATed!
