It was covered in signatures. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"1\">&#8220;The next day he was counting it and happened to see it and he&#8217;s like, &#8216;Hey, there&#8217;s more signatures on here,&#8217; and he&#8217;s like looking at them and he&#8217;s, like, Googling them, and all of a sudden it&#8217;s like, &#8216;This is astronauts&#8217; signatures,'&#8221; said Shelby Buffaloe, co-owner of Burger Rob&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">The signatures belonged to the astronauts from the 1988 STS-27 mission, but one was missing: Guy Gardner. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">&#8220;Literally last night he reached out and said, &#8216;Hey, I&#8217;m going to be at Kennedy Space Center. I would love to come by and complete your mission of getting this dollar bill done,'&#8221; said Rob Buffaloe, co-owner of Burger Rob&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">Gardner explained that he is part of a program at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex that brings in retired astronauts. He visits every few months, and a few months ago, someone sent him WESH 2&#8217;s story about the bill missing his signature. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">&#8220;I said, &#8216;Well, next time I&#8217;m at the Cape, I have to stop by Burger Rob&#8217;s and finish the bill,'&#8221; Gardner said. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">On Thursday night, nearly 38 years after the mission, Gardner added his name to the bill, completing the set of signatures from the STS-27 astronauts. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">&#8220;We typically would sign anything, dollar bills especially. That was kind of a thing to do for the workers at the Cape back in the &#8217;80s, and we would sign them as a crew. I have no idea how there were four of us in one place and not me,&#8221; Gardner said. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"10\">The tradition of signing dollar bills has brought other significant memorabilia to Burger Rob&#8217;s, with someone coming in after seeing WESH 2&#8217;s original story. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"11\">&#8220;The very next week they came in and donated a Shuttle-era crew bill, but it was when John Glenn went back to space. So we have John Glenn&#8217;s autograph, that entire crew from that mission,&#8221; Rob Buffaloe said. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"12\">As for what they plan to do with their two now fully signed bills, Buffaloe said, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to do a heck of a display.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Space Shuttle astronaut adds missing signature to dollar bill signed by fellow crew in Florida TITUSVILLE, Fla. \u2014&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":976547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[24],"tags":[32475,391983,391986,264422,391988,723,391984,5204,391987,159,133248,783,391989,645,391985,67,132,68,46505,1628],"class_list":["post-976546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-astronaut","tag-burger-rob","tag-co-owner","tag-dollar-bill","tag-fellow-crew","tag-florida","tag-guy-gardner","tag-name","tag-rob-buffaloe","tag-science","tag-signature","tag-space","tag-space-shuttle-astronaut","tag-story","tag-sts-27-mission","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-wesh","tag-year"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117028188797774672","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=976546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/976547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=976546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=976546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=976546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
