1) First edition hardback of Robert Heinlein’s “Rocketship Galileo.” Illustrated, in fairly good condition, but no dust jacket. $25 + postage. Purchased.
2) First edition of Hank Searls’ novel “The Pilgrim Project.” In good shape with dust jacket. Based on a Bell Aerospace concept for a one-way mission to the moon, and served as the basis for the movie “Countdown.” $5 + postage.Purchased.
3) First edition of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” by Steven Spielberg. In good shape with dust jacket. $5 + postage
4) “German Secret Weapons Blueprint for Mars” by Brian Ford. One of the first books that helped spur off the craze for “Luftwaffe 1946” and similar popular interest in advanced and wacky WWII German weapons. $4 + postage
5) “Rocket Fighter” by William Green. Paperback about the development of the Messerschmit Me 163. $4 + postage.
6) Rocket dirt. Sure, why not. This is a 2 ounce glass vial filled with some of the dirt that fell from the sky following the ATK test of a five-segment modified Shuttle solid rocket booster for the now-cancelled Ares rockets, back in August of 2010. I collected a handful of the stuff on the day it fell, and another handful on the next day. They were put in separate ziplock bags. The second-day-collected dirt was and is substantially lighter in color than the first-day-collected dirt, which I’m guessing is due to outgassing or evaporation of… something. In any event, it’s kinda strange stuff, and it’s not like they’re making more of it… $10 plus postage.

I have “Rocket Fighter-the story of the Me 163 by Mano Ziegler supposedly translated into English
written I think pre 70’s. I still remember and have a couple of the Anime version comic book series
of “Luftwaffe 1946”.They also made a DVD version that was really put together really well about the VTOL
“Triebflugel” aircraft that was never built by the Germans during WW2.
Oh, heck I am in for German Secret Weapons Blueprint for Mars.
I’ll take Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Rocket dirt
Your selling air pollution particulates that fell on you, as a collectors item.
What gual — I salute you!!

Let’s just say I’d *like* to sell air pollution particulates that fell on me. Nobody’s buying, though.
Not a new idea… after Mt. St. Helens blew its top, there was a thriving business in the sale of little bottles of ash. Stuff that fell out of the sky over tens of thousands of square miles made *somebody* a whole lot of money. ATK Rocketdirt, on the other hand, fell on just a few square miles, and mostly got simply washed away.

Try Ebay – somewhere in the world is someone crazy enough for this — or your toast with the face of Jesus on it.
