Description

A moonwalker's thoughts on space travel—"the rewards to mankind are worth the risks incurred by a few"

Two items: an ALS signed “Ed Mitchell,” one page, 7.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, May 18, 1970, in part: “Our launch date is not yet firm but the expectation is that we will launch 3 Dec 1970. The experiment will be similar to those carried on Apollo 12 except for addition of an active seismic experiment and a magnetometer. I would hope that space flight would remain as exciting a challenge to the American public as it is to me, however that is doubtful. One must think of space flight as a pioneering effort and that the rewards to mankind are worth the risks incurred by a few"; and a color glossy 10 x 8 full-length photo of Mitchell standing next to the American flag on the lunar surface, signed in black felt tip, "Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14, Moonwalker, Just another day at the office!." In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a photo taken at the time of the photograph signing.
