Original printed page from the flight plan used and carried to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission, one page both sides, 10.5 x 8, signed in ballpoint, “Carried to the moon on Apollo XI, Buzz Aldrin.” Also included is an undated TLS signed “Buzz Aldrin” explaining the purpose and provenance of the item. In part: “Enclosed with this letter is a sheet numbered 3-25 and 3-26 from the Apollo 11 Flight Plan…. It is part of the entire document that was carried to the moon in Command Module Columbia during the first lunar landing mission. This sheet is from the detailed timeline section and covers hours 37 through 41 of the mission. Page 3-25 lists two hours of our second rest period which started at approximately 37 hours after launch. Each of us had adjusted well to weightlessness and we all got some sound sleep. Neil Armstrong had about 8 hours and Mike Collins closer to 9. I got around 8 hours of total sleep. Page 3-26 lists the next two hours of this sleep period…. The flight plan was probably the single most important document related to the success of our mission. It provided a time schedule of crew activities and spacecraft maneuvers to accomplish the first lunar landing…. This page has been in my private collection since 1969….” The items are matted and framed together (so that both sides of the flight plan page are visible) to an overall size of 26.25 x 17.25. In very fine condition. R&R COA.
