Description

"Every Word Said, Almost!"—the official communications transcript of Apollo 11, signed by Aldrin, Collins, Duke, and McCandless

Official NASA publication entitled "Apollo 11 Spacecraft Commentary, July 16-24, 1969," prepared at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center, 581 pages, 8 x 10.5, signed on the front cover in blue ballpoint by two Apollo 11 astronauts, "Every Word Said, Almost! Buzz Aldrin" and "Michael Collins, Apollo XI CMP," and by two capsule communicators and future astronauts, "Charlie Duke, Apollo 11 CAPCOM" and "Bruce McCandless II, Apollo 11 CAPCOM, EVA." These are the official transcripts of the Apollo 11 air-to-ground transmissions as fed to the media, including Public Affairs Officer commentary, in an original government binder. It contains the entire dialog between the crew of Apollo 11 and Mission Control from launch through splashdown along with the Public Affairs Officer commentary throughout the historic flight. The transcript includes Neil Armstrong's memorable quotes from the flight, rendered here as: "Houston, Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed" and "That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." In fine condition. A complete historic transcript offering an exceptional primary-source accounting of man’s first flight to the moon.
