Description

Grissom's expense report for 1966 travels between Houston and Cocoa Beach

Unusual Manned Spacecraft Center "Travel Memorandum Worksheet" for expense reimbursement, filled out and signed by Grissom, "Gus," one page, 8 x 10.5, no date but circa September 1966. Grissom fills out the dates, times, and modes of transportation for travels between Houston, Cocoa Beach, and Orlando from September 17th to 23rd, noting the $69.20 cost of an airline ticket. Below, Grissom writes an explanation of the charges, in part: "Rental car use 10 mi personal use…I paid for my airline ticket because I couldn't find my TR's. Enclosed is the ticket receipt and the American Express receipt for the ticket. It will be a week or so before I get the rental car receipt." In very fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication. A unique piece of Apollo program history, evidently documenting Grissom's journeys between the Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston and the Kennedy Space Center near Cocoa Beach.
