In 2015 I was preparing to go to Spacefest in Arizona and had the bright idea to make a panorama of Gene Cernan during his Gemini 9 spacewalk. One had never been made before and there was only one good picture of his fateful spacewalk that nearly killed him. Anyways I got the panorama made (2 copies) on board and paid Cernan $500 each to sign. As I was handing over $1000 cash I started feeling a little regret. However Cernan was the coolest person I have ever met. Super nice and after hearing his story about the spacewalk I was in awe. Well he died 6 months later. Flash forward to 2019. I consigned one of the two to an auction and it sold for $32,000. When I saw the final bid i refreshed my screen about 8 times because I thought it had glitched.
