6.- Read the following text and do the exercises below: A Piece of Space

People have been collecting things for centuries. Collectible items range from stamps to old comic books. Yet, despite the specific nature of the items they collect, most collectors put significant amounts of time and effort into building up their collections. Often, their hobby goes hand in hand with a personal interest in the objects and what these objects represent.

Space memorabilia collectors are no exception. Since its early days in the 1950s, the space programme has captured people’s imaginations. It’s hardly surprising, therefore, that there are many space memorabilia collectors. In recent years, since the completion of the space shuttle programme, space collectibles have become even more valuable and popular.

Some collectors simply collect space items that were originally made for the commercial market. These include patches, pins and T-shirts and are reasonably priced. Yet, there are many serious collectors who have no interest in these kinds of items. For them, only items that have unique historical value will do. Original space relics are sold at space auctions, often at high prices. Take, for example, the remnants of the American flag that was planted on the moon during the first manned mission there. These scraps of material, which never even left Earth, were sold for $45,000!

There are a significant number of websites that cater to space collectors. One website, called Collect Space was set up by Robert Pearlman. Initially, his intention was to set up a modest site that would enable him to file his own collection of space memorabilia and to write about space history. In the first month, a mere 30 people visited the site. Now hundreds of thousands of people visit the site each month to find out about space auctions, discuss their latest acquisitions and read about space exploration.

So why are people so keen to purchase space memorabilia? Perhaps they are driven by a kind of nostalgia. In their desire to remember and relive the past, they use these objects to trigger fond memories. Or perhaps they simply long to own something that was held by a person who did something that they will never do. Whatever the reason, collectors like Pearlman are constantly on the lookout for that special find.
