Buzz Aldrin’s Space Memorabilia Sells for More Than $8 Million.

A jacket that the astronaut wore during the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969 and his Presidential Medal of Freedom were among the items auctioned off by Sotheby’s in New York City...

Derek Parsons, a Sotheby’s spokesman, said that the Buzz Aldrin sale was the “most valuable single space exploration auction ever staged.” It broke a record set by one auction of items belonging to Mr. Armstrong, who died in 2012, but the other astronaut’s total collection still holds the overall record.

The most coveted artifacts sold on Tuesday traveled to the moon and back more than five decades ago. A complete summary flight plan of the Apollo mission sold for $819,000.

Only one lot did not sell: It included the tiny broken circuit switch that nearly marooned the Apollo 11 crew on the moon and a dented aljminum pen that Mr. Aldrin used as a manual workaround to achieve liftoff. Bidding stalled at $650,000, well under the auction’s estimate of $1 million...

Space: The final frontier.  I don't think so.

The future has a persistent habit of quickly becoming the past, and that moment, squished in between, is now.

Wanderers stand and gaze in the unknown of space like past explorers stood on the shores of their homeland and wondered what stood beyond.  Then, like Columbus, they went there.

The frontier of space seems even larger, dwarfing, man, earth, and our very existence.

Still, there will be explorers.  Just like in the past, there will be explorers traveling into the unknown.  There will be discoveries, and also wrecked ships, stranded survivors, and eventually salvage operations to recover ships and treasure.  

It will be a new kind of treasure, yet some will continue to salvage the past, while others mine the future. 

Space is like the undiscovered lands of our past, but it is not the final frontier.  Beyond that are the oceans of consciousness, time, and Spirit.

Not much change since yesterday.  The system is moving slowly and develeoping slowly.
