Description

“The landing on the moon, orchestrated within this now almost natural environment, was perhaps the most demanding dozen minutes of my lifetime”

Souvenir typescript, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, entitled “One Man’s Being There,” featured as one of the forewords in A Century of Triumph: The History of Aviation. In part: “when one departs his home in earth orbit and leaves behind the safety of his own planet, things suddenly become ‘different’…The landing on the moon, orchestrated within this now almost natural environment, was perhaps the most demanding dozen minutes of my lifetime…This moment in history of ‘One Man’s Being There…’ is now the legacy of a nation—a rare privilege I’m proud to share with you.” In fine condition. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
