More than 50 celebrity astronauts, including John Glenn, Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin, are offering once-in-a-lifetime one-on-one experiences, cool space artifacts and autographed items in the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation’s (ASF) 6th Annual Online Auction of Astronaut Experiences and Memorabilia at http://astronautscholarship.org/2008_auction.pl which opens on, October 31, 2008.

The astronauts have donated the auction lots as a way to raise funds for the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, a non-profit organization which provides scholarships to exceptional college students in the science or engineering field of their major. The Foundation funds nineteen $10,000 scholarships annually and has awarded more than $2.6 million nationwide. For more information, log on to www.AstronautScholarship.org or call 321-455-7012.

The ASF’s Astronaut Autograph & Memorabilia Show is the world’s largest astronaut autograph show and will feature more than 25 heroic astronauts and space icons on November 7 and 9 at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, FL. Ticket proceeds benefit the ASF. For more information visit http://astronautscholarship.org/show2008/index.html
