Vintage postal cover bearing a typed return address to the Air Force Kokee Station, Waimei, Kauai, Hawaii, postmarked March 23, 1965, signed in black ballpoint by Neil Armstrong, and in a variety of other ink types by seven members of flight control. In fine condition. An exceptionally uncommon cover, it celebrated the launch of Gemini-Titan 3, the first manned Gemini mission piloted by Grissom and Young in the Molly Brown spacecraft. Armstrong would embark on his first space flight a little less than a year later aboard Gemini 8 and his iconic Apollo 11 flight and ensuing fame was still over four years in the future.
