Alan's Astronaut Autograph Gallery
In-Person Pics with Alan Bean and Andy Chaikin!!!
Alan Bean , who flew on both the Apollo XII and Skylab missions, is today an accomplished space artist . One of his most well-known limited edition prints "In The Beginning" is counter-signed by 19 other Apollo astronauts, while another - "Reaching for the Stars" - is counter-signed by a total of 24!
Andy Chaikin, author of "A Man on the Moon" which formed the basis for the HBO mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon," wrote the text for Bean's new book "Apollo: An Eyewitness Account" .
I recently had the oportunity to meet both of these great men at a book signing in Tucson, Arizona hosted by Kim & Sally Poor, owners of Novagraphics Space Art Gallery - a great source for purchasing Bean's work.
