FWIW I have a friend that collects space stuff. He
has lots of neat
stuff that's flown. His latest find was a large number of shuttle floor
panels and a shuttle light fixture.
My grandfather worked on the Columbia. I recently inherited a huge box
full of stuff, including original promo booklets, some of the infamous
tiles, and a few of the electronic bits that he developed (2nds, of
course) for it. The promo stuff is neat; some of it shows the computers
that were being used in the research and production labs. When I get a
chance, I'll scan them and post them somewhere.
