Printed fabric Massachusetts state flag flown aboard the Apollo 11 mission, 6 x 4, signed in black ink, “Carried to the moon aboard Apollo XI, Michael Collins.” The flag has been lightly stitched to a larger piece of archival material for preservation and display purposes. In fine condition, with slight feathering of ink due to nature of materials used. A notable association with the home state of JFK, who, in 1961, expressed an ambition that would indeed be fulfilled: “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth.” COA Scott Cornish and R&R COA.
