This is a signed, glossy color photo of female astronaut Eileen M. Collins. Ms. Collins is a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, and was the first female Space Shuttle pilot in 1995, and later the first female commander of a Space Shuttle in July, 1999. She retired from NASA in 2006 to pursue private interests, which included covering Shuttle launches and landings for CNN. The photo is signed 'To M. Hughes. Eileen M. Collins 2007' in black ink. As Ms. Collins doesn't sign autographs anymore, this is one of the more difficult signatures to obtain. (measures approx. 8"x 10")
