‘Snoopy Astronaut’ doll with 'Snoopy' cap and portable ventilation unit, standing approximately 9.25″ in height, signed and inscribed on the back of the helmet in black felt tip, “To Scotty, Best wishes, John Young.” In very good to fine condition, with a small tear to back suit, and light scuffing and marks to face shield and helmet. The connection between the Apollo program and the Peanuts comic strip is well documented. The call signs for the Apollo 10 spacecraft were the names of characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy, the semi-official mascots of the famed 'dress rehearsal' Apollo mission, and Peanuts creator Charles Schulz also drew some mission-related artwork for NASA.
