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: “M. Scott Carpenter,” “Leroy G. Cooper, Jr.,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Walter Schirra,” “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” and “Donald K. Slayton.” Tape residue at the bottom two corners, missing small piece of bottom right corner (of first page only), faint edge toning, “Spaceflight and Missiles Development Recording Office” stamping, two punch holes along the left side (one hitting the first letter of Carpenter’s name), and moderate contrast to small portions of a couple signatures, otherwise fine condition. Historic NASA memento. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
