Description

SPACEWORTHY: Four years before Apollo 11, ARMSTRONG and SLAYTON give high marks to colleague BUZZ ALDRIN

Partly printed DS, signed “Neil Armstrong, 15 Jan. 1965” and “D. K. Slayton, 20 Jan. 1965” one page both sides, 8 x 10.5. A “field grade officer effectiveness report” for Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin earned high praise, attaining one of the two highest ratings in every “checkbox” category, plus glowing descriptions of his personal qualities and abilities, including the observation that “He is particularly well suited to his present assignment and is needed as a spacecraft crew member in the National Space Program.” Armstrong’s status as “senior” astronaut, and thus Aldrin’s superior, is particularly significant in light of his role as commander of the Apollo 11 mission—and first man to set foot on the moon—just four years later. Staple and filing holes (the latter just touching one digit of Slayton’s date), otherwise very fine, fresh condition. COA Scott Cornish and R&R COA.
