Official staple-bound NASA manual entitled “Final, Apollo 11 Lunar Operations Plan,” dated June 27, 1969, 8 x 10.5, 184 pages, signed on the front cover in blue felt tip by Buzz Aldrin. The manual provides a minute-by-minute plan for the time astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were to spend on the lunar surface, with the introduction stating, “This Final Edition…defines equipment requirements, crew/equipment interfaces, and final flight planning and crew activities for lunar surface EVA operations during the first manned lunar mission.” One page inside provides the simple—yet extremely profound—instructions for Armstrong to step foot on the moon, “Descend to footpad…Step to Surface.” In fine condition. Given the typical wear of NASA-printed manuals, this is an exceptionally clean and desirable example, elevated all the more by the presence of history’s second moonwalker. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Novaspace.
