Description

“I believe our space program will be the greatest 20th Century guiding influence on mankind’s destiny. It will affect everyone in some way”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Manned Spacecraft Center letterhead, October 29, 1963. White responds to an admirer. In part: “There is much that can be said about current attempts to explore the universe, but I believe our space program will be the greatest 20th Century guiding influence on mankind’s destiny. It will affect everyone in some way. The biggest noticeable influence today is on the children. It is a good influence and will harvest a rich crop in the future. I appreciate your asking for my comments and hope you will find them suitable for inclusion in your collection.” In fine condition. Insightful comments from a tragic casualty of the space race. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RR Auction COA.
