Description

Official color 10 x 8 NASA lithograph of the Apollo 13 crew in their space suits, signed in blue felt tip by James Lovell and Ken Mattingly and in black felt tip by Fred Haise. In fine condition, with a tiny bend to the upper left corner tip. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication. Mattingly did not end up making the flight—he was replaced by Jack Swigert three days prior to launch, when it was discovered that backup LMP Charlie Duke had contracted rubella, exposing both the prime and backup crews. Mattingly, who had never caught rubella as a child, was the only crew member not immune. Uninscribed examples of this pose are quite scarce.
