Color 8 x 10 NASA photo of Armstrong posing in his white space suit, his helmet by his side, signed and inscribed in blue ink “To Dean—Best of luck, Neil Armstrong.” Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 13.5. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter from NASA’s Manager of Astronaut Candidate Training attesting to the photo. In part: “On Thursday, August 22, 1996, Mr. Neil Armstrong…gave a presentation to the Astronaut Candidate Class of 1996…You attended this presentation as my guest, and I introduced you to Neil Armstrong. Neil autographed an official NASA photograph for you.” Also accompanied by two pages of pencil notes taken during Armstrong’s presentation including references to the moon landing. The recipient of the signature, a former training consultant to NASA-JSC, recalls how gracious and unassuming Armstrong was and remembers that true to form, he avoided allowing his signature to touch the flag, writing carefully in the space below. This beautiful and bold in-person example was professionally framed and discreetly displayed preserving it perfectly, without a hint of fading often times found on similar white space suit photographs. A rare face-to-face signature done two years after Neil Armstrong stopped signing for the general public. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
