A CollectSpace.com article by Robert Z. Pearlman, via Space.com, reports that:

Are you searching for the perfect holiday gift this season for the space enthusiast in your life? Is failure not an option?

Veteran NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz and online space memorabilia dealer FarthestReaches.com (FRC) may just have the answer.

Kranz, who is best known to the public by Ed Harris's portrayal in the 1995 blockbuster Apollo 13, has partnered with FRC to sell items that he collected over his 34 years with NASA, many of those leading Mission Control.

The selection from which collectors may soon be able to choose currently fills two offices at Kranz's home.
