Space Shuttle: 20 Years "Color" page
When I heard Italian astronaut Umberto Guidoni (payload specialist, STS-75; mission specialist, STS-100) was going to be doing a presentation in Los Angeles in January 2014, I had to at least try to get his signature in my Space Shuttle: The First 20 Years book. Non-NASA astronauts make rare appearances in the US, and Guidoni is a nonsigner by mail (I even emailed asking where I could send a photo to be autographed, with no response.)
Interestingly, Canadian astronaut Chris A. Hadfield, pictured here along with the rest of the STS-100 crew, also appears on the prior page during a spacewalk from that flight. So I could have had Hadfield sign here as well (and also Jeffrey S. Ashby, 100's pilot, who signed the book on a photo of that mission's liftoff.) Hadfield signed just before Guidoni, two astronauts prior.
And since this photo also shows ret. Navy Capt. Kent V. Rominger, I had him sign this page as well. He added his mission number and position (CDR = commander) unasked. Titusville, Fla., 7 Nov. 2015.
Total signatures: Two.
