Please use this topic to discuss collecting the autographs of NASA's first crewed flight of the Artemis program. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen will fly around the moon and back on the 10-day Artemis II mission. |

I contacted Jeremy Hansen a few years ago, requesting a photo. He provided a signed, personalized photo a few weeks later. Coincidentally, I also had the good fortune to sit next to Jeremy during a lecture by Charlie Duke in Flagstaff, Arizona. He patiently answered all my questions, posed for a photo, then introduced me to Don Pettit. Long story short, Jeremy Hansen is a class act!  |

Wow...How exciting for the new Artemis II crew. Congratulations to all.I was thrilled when I was able to add this signed Omega X-33 Speedmaster case back to my collection a couple years back. A signed picture is great but a little piece of hardware is even better. Knowing more than a few people in the Tomcat community, I was fortunate enough to get my project to Tonto through a friend and he was gracious enough to sign a piece for my collection. What a thrill to have a future Moon voyager piece in my collection. Tonto's is also one of the coolest pieces in the collection. Impeccably signed and the "Fly Navy" is a great touch. They said Tonto was a rockstar and today proves it. If you read this Tonto BZ and safe travels.  |

Here are just one autograph collector's experiences with the four Artemis II lunar astronauts. The autographs I received from these four came around the time of their selection/reporting to Johnson pace Center and via through the mail requests. Certainly later results could and have varied. - Reid Wiseman: Responded well but with generally an illegible signature
- Victor Glover: No responses through the mail and my only autograph from him was the result of buying a poorly signed portrait that was obtained in person
- Christina Koch: signed well at the time of her selection
- Jeremy Hansen: signed well at the time of his selection
It will be interesting to learn what will result autograph-related from these four in the days prior to their lunar flight. |

I was not there, but photographs (credit NASA/Keegan Barber) show that the Artemis II crew signed autographs as part of a meet and greet held at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday (May 17).  |

It appears NASA now has Artemis II crew lithos with pre-printed signatures in white (from a May 19 event at Goddard Space Flight Center, photo: NASA/Joel Kowsky). |
