Description

Astronauts

Fantastic collection of five TLSs from Edgar Mitchell, Charles Conrad, Tom Stafford, Ron Evans, and Jack Lousma, each one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA Manned Spacecraft Center letterhead, dated from 1963 to 1969 (Lousma undated). All are fascinating responses to letters asking for their opinions on the space program. Conrad, in part: “The mind can only guess at a small fraction of the benefits to mankind that will come from the peaceful exploration of our universe.” Stafford’s letter, in part: “The apollo [sic] program is the greatest peacetime undertaking in the history of man.” Mitchell, in part: “The attainment of knowledge through exploration—through research—has always brought benefit even though the final outcome could not be defined.” Evans, in part: “Our country must continue its quest for advancement…To be a part of the actual exploration is really great.” Lousma, in part: “The space program has demonstrated that people can achieve seemingly insurmountable goals by working as a team.” In overall fine condition. Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
