Description

Following the tenth anniversary of Apollo 11, history's first moonwalker weighs in on the state of spaceflight: "Let us hope that progress over the next ten years with an operational Space Shuttle will be even more gratifying"

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, University of Cincinnati letterhead, August 1, 1979. Letter to Ralph L. Benson, in part: "I very much appreciate the many letters I am receiving in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of Apollo 11. It's very heartening to realize that so many people recall the event with such enthusiasm. I wish that time would permit an individual reply to all who write, but I hope this note will provide an acceptable substitute. The continued progress in both manned and unmanned space flight over the past decade has been most heartening. Let us hope that progress over the next ten years with an operational Space Shuttle will be even more gratifying." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
