Fantastic original vintage 1959 NASA newsletter detailing progress on the Mercury program, four pages, 8 x 10.5, vertically signed in ballpoint on the front page by all seven original Mercury astronauts, each next to his photo, and all signing with their less common ‘formal’ signatures: “Scott Carpenter,” “Leroy G. Cooper, Jr.,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Walter M. Schirra,” “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” and “D. K. Slayton.” The content includes articles and photos on safety tests, water drops, re-entry for ground and water landing, and more. Some mild toning, mostly to bottom of page, and light to moderate contrast to the signatures, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
