Handwritten souvenir manuscript by Apollo 16 moonwalker Charlie Duke, entitled "Reflections of a Lunar Voyager," one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, no date, signed at the conclusion, "Charles M. Duke, Jr., Apollo 16 Moonwalker." The manuscript, penned in blue felt tip, in part: "In April, 1972, my life changed forever as I found myself riding Wernher Von Braun’s magnificent rocket into the heavens aboard Apollo 16, mankind's fifth successful lunar landing mission. On April 20th, John Young and I successfully landed our lunar module 'Orion' on the moon's dusty soil! Several hours later, I emerged to become only the 10th human being in history to ever stand on another world!” In very fine condition, with a tiny bend to the upper left corner.
