Fantastic original vintage 1959 NASA newsletter detailing progress on the Mercury program, four pages, 8 x 10.5, vertically signed in ballpoint on the front page by all seven original Mercury astronauts, each next to his respective photo, and all signing with their less common ‘formal’ signatures: “Scott Carpenter,” “Leroy G. Cooper, Jr.,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Walter Schirra,” “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” and “D. K. Slayton.” The content includes articles and photos on safety tests, water drops, re-entry for ground and water landing, and more. Light intersecting folds (vertical fold just touching last letter of Schirra’s first name), a subtle wrinkle or two, and slightly indistinct contrast to a few signatures against background, otherwise fine, bright, clean condition. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
