Bean's fee is way more than $20. It's 10x that ($200) base for a signed photo. I realize that's all you can afford; best bet is to try and catch him at a speaking event (NOT a signing show) or one of his book signings, if he does a future book - there's no guarantees he'll sign at a speaking event, and no guarantees either that he'll sign more than his book(s) at a book signing.
Also, for future reference, Google what an astronaut's fee may be. Sometimes you'll get lucky - years ago, way long ago, I didn't know Pete Conrad charged and I got a signed index card for free (this was when internet was at its infancy.) But more likely, if they have a fee, they won't sign for less than that.
