I've sent them to astronauts for signing, and you might want to do the same. You'll see that all but the last one could be signed by attendees of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation event next month. (Personally, I love such large items for signing - after some careful framing, they'll be on rotation for display in my house for the rest of my life.)

Or you could just have them printed for your pleasure. No charge, of course - I'll just be happy if someone can use what I made in a few hours of fumbling around on Google's Picassa 3 photo software.

Then an Apollo 8, at 24x20.

For Apollo 13, I decided not to go for a really detailed full-mission collage, since I found the photos of the lunar module Odyssey drifting away to be so poignant. So here they are. I already had two printed up: one for Haise to sign for me, and another to give him. It's 20x16.

Then there is the first one I made, covering MA-6 for John Glenn to sign. It's 20x16. Now, here's where I might seem preachy, but I've noticed that the Ohio State University John Glenn School of Public Affairs has a website through which one can easily send a small donation. We know that Glenn continues, after 50 years, to sign for free. But I think that he, and the staff that handles his autograph requests, might be happy to see a printout included with an autograph request that shows that the collector has made such a donation. Just a thought.
