Greg Grunberg teases possible return in ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

Neil Armstrong’s space artifacts collection goes up for auction

Associated Press

It seems the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong, kept quite a collection with him. And now these are going to be offered for sale in a series of auctions starting November 1^st and 2^nd in his home state of Ohio. He kept things like the US flag, a United Nations flag, several medallions available exclusively to NASA astronauts, and apparently even the original camera the recorded the moonwalk. Bids for these items can be offered online, by phone, or in person. Other memorabilia going up for sale include a centennial flag from Armstrong’s alma mater, Purdue University, which he took on the Apollo 11 and a Boy Scout cap.

According to his son Mark, Armstrong never told them what to do with his collection. He said, “I don’t think he spent much time thinking about it. He did save all the items, so he obviously felt they were worth saving.” Armstrong passed away in 2012 and his sons felt it was time to deal with these artifacts. Mark Armstrong said, “We felt like the number of people that could help us identify them and give us the historical context was diminishing and that the problem of understanding that context would only get worse over time.”

Greg Grunberg teases possible return in ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

Lucasfilm

Rumour has it frequent J.J. Abrams collaborator Greg Grunberg is coming back in Star Wars: Episode IX. The actor—who has appeared in other Abrams-helmed projects like Lost, Star Trek, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens—hinted at the possibility of his character Resistance pilot Temmin “Snap” Wexley coming back for Episode IX. He didn’t outright confirm the news, but this is what he said to Yahoo! News: “You know what—we’d better [return] or else my wife is going to kill me for growing a beard. I can’t officially say anything, but this is getting itchy, and I’m getting itchy to go over there and do it.” Grunberg was referring to the beard he had to grow for the character in The Force Awakens. Episode IX is set to start production later this month, so we should be hearing something soon.
