Description

Limited edition acrylic display entitled “US Steps Into Space: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo,” which contains three small fragments from the spacecraft involved with America’s most seminal space moments: a piece of flown heat shield from John Glenn’s Mercury-Atlas 6 capsule (first orbital flight), a piece of silver plate from the Gemini 4 capsule (first US EVA), and a piece of Kapton foil from the Command Module Columbia of Apollo 11 (first lunar landing); all of these items are attested to as being flown by Florian Noller. The acrylic block measures 5″ x 3″ x 1″, and only 50 of these displays were made. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Florian Noller of Artifact Cloud, and by copies of letters documenting the provenance of each artifact.
