Cosmonaut Gennady Padalka visit and signing

Cosmonaut Gennady Padalka currently holds the world record for the longest accumulated time in space by any human with 878 days during five spaceflights and a total of eight EVAs — and he's planning to set a new record with 1000 days in space!

We are honored to have another cosmonaut legend as our guest in April 2016.

Together with the local Kepler Society we have organized meetings and workshops with kids and students at local schools. Collectors and interested people are invited to attend any of the following events:

• Public event
  April 28, 2016 at 7.00 p.m. local time
  Gennady Padalka will give a public lecture followed by a Q&A session at the local school auditorium. He will also sign autographs there at no charge!

  This event will be hosted by the city of Weil der Stadt along with the local Kepler Society and Spaceflori.com.

  Location: Jahnstrasse 10, 71263 Weil der Stadt, Germany

• Private VIP Dinner
  April 27, 2016 at 7.30 p.m. local time
  Weil der Stadt, Germany

  We plan a private VIP dinner in the evening of April 27 at a local Russian restaurant — this is your change to meet Gennady Padalka in a very small group privately and ask all your questions! Contact us directly for further info. He will also sign for free at this event.

• Mail-in signing (non-public)

  Gennady Padalka will sign for free to those attending any of the events in Weil der Stadt — however we offer a mail-in signing at a small service charge for those who cannot attend but still want to secure his autograph. We provide free 8x10 photos, download the available selection here.

Thanks to SpaceFlori, who again did a terrific job! He even managed to get my name (removed on the picture) spelled right, which is not easy with cosmonauts.
