Flown dual-sided page carried into lunar orbit during the Apollo 10 mission, removed from the mission’s Earth Landmarks and Photos book (NASA Part No. SKB32100079-320, Serial No. 1001), signed and flight-certified in black ink, “Flown to the moon on Apollo X, Gene Cernan, Apollo X LMP.” The page, 10.5 x 8.5, is tabbed as “233, 234, 25,” and features coastal map images of South Africa to both sides, with the signed side centered on Port Elizabeth. In fine condition.
Accompanied by a CD containing images of each page of the Earth Landmarks and Photos book, and a certificate of authenticity, which reads: “Tab numbered “233,234-235,” this Earth map depicting Port Elizabeth, South Africa and further identified herein as “Sheet #94,” was taken from the flown Earth Landmarks Maps and Photos book, NASA Part No. SKB32100079-320, Serial No. 1001. This map, and the full book it came from, had been in the continuous possession of Apollo 10's Command Module Pilot, John Young, since his return from that mission. I subsequently obtained the complete book from Mr. Young in 2010…Apollo 10's Lunar Module Pilot, Gene Cernan, later graciously signed and inscribed the map for me in 2011.”
