TLS signed “Edgar D. Mitchell,” one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, November 24, 1969. Letter regarding a proposed documentary. In part: “I am pleased and honored to be considered for your proposed documentary. The project interests me, however, there are aspects that should be clarified:
“1. I am not a scientist-astronaut, but a pilot astronaut. 2. My participation would have to be approved by NASA. 3. My current crew assignment on Apollo XIV would make my availability limited during the next few months (although certainly not impossible).
“The above items probably sound like a discouragement, but are not intended as such. On the contrary, I believe in doing everything possible to show the American people that they are making a worthwhile investment in the space program.” In fine condition, with a couple light creases to top left corner. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
