Astronauts share space through souvenirs
http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-060408a.html
Armstrong and Buzz are in space again, though they aren't the Apollo astronauts who made history walking on the Moon.
Rather, cyclist Lance Armstrong and 'space ranger' Buzz Lightyear are sharing space aboard shuttle Discovery, now docked to the International Space Station. And they are not alone; joining them for the 14-day mission are retired Houston Astros' player Craig Biggio and New York Giants' quarterback Eli Manning.
Of course, none of the individuals (and fictional character) are themselves in space, but the crew of STS-124 chose to take items representing each of them aboard the orbiter.
