This should prove interesting:

Buzz Aldrin is auctioning off the NASA jacket he wore to the moon, other items from time in space

The jacket is estimated at one to two million dollars. One could hope it’ll go to someplace like the NASM. One could backup-hope that if it looks like it’ll go to a foreign bajillionaire, someone like Musk or Bezos will step up to make sure it stays in the US.

The link to the auction:

Buzz Aldrin: American Icon

There are 69 items, a number of which are items that flew with him to the lunar surface on Apollo 11. It would be *fantastic* if they all ended up in the same collection… preferably NASM.
