Armstrong looks back on his mission—“It’s very heartening to realize that so many people recall the event with enthusiasm”—and ahead to the next ten years

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, University of Cincinnati letterhead, May 4, 1979. A fascinating form letter regarding the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, sent to David Marcus of Palm Springs, California. 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 enthusiasm…. The continued progress in both manned and unmanned space flight over the past decade has been the most heartening. Let us hope that progress over the next ten years with an operational Space Shuttle will be even more gratifying.” Boldly and authentically signed in black felt tip at the conclusion, “Neil Armstrong.” In very fine condition. JSA/Scott Cornish Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
