Description

Souvenir typescript, one page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in blue felt tip. An excerpt from “An Artist in Space,” recounting his spacewalk, which reads, in part: “We were flying over the Black Sea when the command was given to exit. I lightly pushed off with my feet, grabbed on to the handrails, and pulled up my legs. Soon I was standing on the edge of the lock in outer space. It was so quiet I could hear my heart beating…Having pulled out the lifeline, along with the radio installation, as far as it would go, I smoothly pushed off from the lock chamber.” In very fine condition. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
