Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Buzz Aldrin, who writes that the page “is part of the entire document that was carried to the Moon in Command Module Columbia during the first lunar landing mission. This sheet is from the detailed timeline section and covers hours 37 though 41 of the mission. Page 3-25 lists two hours of our second rest period which started at approximately 37 hours after launch. Each of us had adjusted well to weightlessness and we all got some sound sleep. Neil Armstrong had about 8 hours and Mike Collins close to 9. I got around 8 hours of total sleep…This page has been in my private collection since 1969.”
