About Space Flight Collectibles
The memorabilia we offer in our store was collected while I was a teenager and wrapped
up in the enthusiasm of those early years of the space program.
Much of what we offer was
collected as part of the research I was doing for projects in local science fairs.
The memorabilia in our store are all original and include NASA and contractor brochures, photos,
technical reports, press kits and commemorative collectibles.
We will be adding new memorabilia on a regular basis.

Whether you have an interest in the space program from a historical or technical perspective,
or just looking to give someone a unique gift, we're sure you will find
the memorabilia in our store of interest.
Our store is dedicated to the memory of my parents John  and Lorette who never stopped supporting
me in my interest in the space program.
