Ive met the Apollo 16 crew, John Young, Charlie Duke and Ken Mattingly, Michael Collins and Al Worden. All a great guys, very nice, Mr Collins even gave me advice on how to get into the air force and what to do in difficult situations and all.

I've met none personally, but my dad met Duke once at a presentation Duke was giving and managed to get me a signed copy of his autobiography Moonwalker.

Sam Gemar, great guy, he took particular interest that day when we to the KSC to us, because my father was in the Military, so was he. Charley Bolden met my Dad at the Naval Academy with his Son, and Charley Remembered my Dad when I went to talk to him at Legoland in California, he Remembered my Dad after many years. And my Dad almost flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavour, NASA was considering him for the Astronaut Program of 1994. And My Grandpa, who recently just died, worked on the Apollo program, so we got to met John Glenn, and John Fabian.

I met Story Musgrave once at KSC and when I was little, before I can remember, I met my cousin who was the second person to use the Manned Maneuvering Unit, Robert Stewart.

Zat, Im guessing your Last name Is Steward? Or is he on your Moms Side?

 

[darian]

I met an astronaut in July 2005 at KSC but I can't remember his name.

No astronauts but I met Gene Kranz in town.

 

[simonpro]

I've met quite a few, worked with Mike Foale a few years ago and I'm working closely with Piers Sellers at the moment. My favourite by a long way is Andre Kuipers though, he's a funny guy.

[Star explorer]

when i ment Al Worden i was 10 the biggest questin i asked him was could the saturn V rocket be able to launch the shuttle into spacei got the now obvius to me answer YES.

When I was younger I met Franklin Chang. He was making a presentation on what happened to Challenger, and I recall the explanation on SRB design vividly. We were a group of kids paying lots of attention to a man who was like a rock star.
