Description

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED: Lunar photo signed by the crew of APOLLO 11

Breath-taking color 10 x 8 NASA photo of the Earthrise over the lunar horizon, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Chuck—With thanks for your years of effort to Apollo—Neil Armstrong,” and signed “Buzz Aldrin,” and “Michael Collins.” Accompanied by four other unsigned color 10 x 8 NASA photos of the Apollo 11 mission, all taken on the lunar surface. Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo program, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy’s goal of “landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth” by the end of the 1960s. In very fine condition. A superb set of this coveted trio of astronauts. COA Scott Cornish and R&R COA.
