Description

Original X-ray of the first boots to walk on the moon

Highly desirable original NASA X-ray of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong’s EVA spacesuit boots, 14 x 17, with upper area dated to July 7, 1969, and numbered “050.” The X-ray was taken at NASA's Kennedy Space Center as a last-minute check to discern the presence of any foreign objects capable of compromising the integrity of Armstrong's pressure suit, such as needle tips broken off during the suit fabrication and stitching process. The X-ray is impressively mounted within a backlit frame, measuring 18.5 x 22.75, with functional on/off switch to bottom edge. In fine condition. Accompanied by an AC adaptor.
