Astronauts Will Get Down to Earth at Autograph Show

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla., Oct. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- They just may have encountered aliens* ... they definitely did some moonwalking, zipped around outer-space in Jetson's-like backpacks and zoomed to and from Earth in 4 different types of spaceships; and now, they are beaming down to the Kennedy Space Center, FL to rendezvous with you! On November 5-6, the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) will present the World's Largest Astronaut Autograph & Memorabilia Show (www.AstronautScholarship.org/aams), where over 40 famed galactic travelers will be just one small step away from making a giant leap into your life!

It's back for the fourth year running and is boldly going where no other autograph show has gone before. Snapshots and signatures don't even begin to scratch the surface of what this stellar event has to offer; the 2011 show will open a new dimension of excitement, bringing guests up close and personal, through special photo ops, lunches, dinners, autograph sessions, space chats and more, with explorers who have tasted the great unknown. Want the inside scoop on the outer limits? Get the buzz straight from moonwalker Buzz Aldrin himself; feel the love from your new pal Jim Lovell; and kick off your space boots with the many other American legends who will be on hand!

Guests may bring their own items to have signed or purchase them at the show. In addition to the sensational lineup of rocketmen (and ladies), which includes astronauts from the Mercury through Space Shuttle programs, ASF has teamed up with the spaciest exhibitors to offer fans the ultimate selection of out-of-this world memorabilia! Tickets range from $15 to $600. Astronaut autographs are an additional fee.

ASF's Astronaut Autograph & Memorabilia Show is launching in just 28 days, so secure your SPACE now at www.AstronautScholarship.org/aams or 321-455-7014.
