| Astronaut, Steve Robinson, has come up a unique idea. He plans to have attendees at the Convention to sign their names at a specail booth and he will carry those names into space with him on the Discovery shuttle in January. If you get the chance, sign up at a special booth set up for this purpose at the International Steel Guitar Convention. Scotty |

Great idea! My name will most likely be the only part of me that ever makes it up to space. 
Kind Regards, Walter

| I'll make it a point to sign up. I worked in the manned space program, at the Ascension Island tracking station and at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. |

I'm afraid of heights so this is one way to get a part of me off the ground.

| Scotty: You can bet Roy & I will sign his book. I bet he will have more names than anyone else with him. We are so proud of Steve and that he plays steel guitar too! See you both soon. Your friend, Laurie |

What a fine offer! I hope Steve won't mind, but I'm going to put my son's name on there instead of my own; I have a feeling he'll be inspired by it and take a great interest in the shuttle program thereafter! It's a pretty big deal to know that your name is out there in space circling the globe! Wow!

Maybe Steve can take a pocket full of Picks up with him and we can auction them off to benefit the Hall Of Fame, Ill be signing for sure, I was a kid in 64 when that was happeneing but my neighbor across the street actually worked on the capsules and flights for all those Mercury/Apollo years....I got to see TOP SECRET pictures when this stuff was being built. I even once was given a short film from him to take to school and show for show and tell, well the teacher saw TOP SECRET on the film box and called the Principal who then called my Mom, and she had to get the Neighbor to go to School and tell them it was ok to show the films of them testing Rocket Sleds and the Astronauts in all types of crazy tests, My teacher thought I had stolen a TOP SECRET film, I got an A for that Show and Tell...
Go Go Go Steve.....

Jim if you are real nice, Steve might let you sign your name too! After all the extra ink does not weigh too much! |

| Well, for lift-off luggage weighs plenty. And in orbit you still weigh a lot and it is earth's gravity that's keeping you from flying off into deep space. Jim, it is feeling of weightlessness that is the experience. I believe Newton described an orbit as a cannonball perpetually falling. For each inch forward the cannon ball goes, it falls an inch toward the earth because of its mass (and gravitational attraction between the cannonball and earth). Jim if you were shot out of a cannon toward the St. Louis Arch on a parabolic trajectory you would experience the sensation of weightlessness, also. But the more you weigh and the more luggage you had, the more gunpowder it would take to send you on that trajectory. |

I am the engineer-in charge of the NASA Ascent Debris Radar on Kennedy Space Center and it would be great to meet Steve.
Like Jack Stoner,I too am a "Range Rat" and spent 12 years on Ascension Island!
While I won't be there in person, I'll be there in spirit for sure.
Ricky...
