The Astronaut Autograph Club (AAC) may just be the ultimate Out-of-This-World Gift this Holiday Season, offering an authentic autographed photo and personalized letter from a Hall of Fame Astronaut for each month of the upcoming year!

Children, young and old, will rejoice when they receive letters and photos from such legendary astronauts as Moonwalkers Charlie Duke and Edgar Mitchell; Mercury Astronaut Scott Carpenter, first Space Shuttle Pilot Robert Crippen and more explaining why they chose to reach for the stars!

No other gift offers the opportunity to become pen pals with American heroes who have proven the sky is not the limit. Through the AAC, the astronauts will share their personal triumphs and reveal what inspired them to literally travel out of this world.
