Description

“NASA will continue to be able to select from among the best qualified individuals in the nation for their crews”

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, University of Cincinnati letterhead, January 13, 1975. Letter to an Air Force lieutenant. In full: “The fields of expertise of space crewmen will be widely varied in years to come. I do not think I can accurately predict the ‘best route.’ I do expect that NASA will continue to be able to select from among the best qualified individuals in the nation for their crews. Inasmuch as this is a constantly changing situation, I suggest that you inquire from NASA directly for their current policy.” In fine condition. After his historic mission, Armstrong served as Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics at NASA from July 1970 until August 1971, when he resigned to become Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. In 1986, he would be appointed to and serve as the vice-chairman of the Rogers Commission, charged with investigating the Challenger disaster. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
