Apollo 8

Small segment of Kapton foil of the type used for the Apollo 8 spacecraft, affixed to the reverse of a 3.5 x 2 business card of an Apollo Project engineer at North American Rockwell, with a handwritten note from the engineer dated March 8, 1969, in full: "To dear Diane—This is part of the Apollo 8 Thermal Control Coating & is on the Command Module which orbited the moon during Christmas of 1968—not much of anything—just sentimental. Fondest regards, David." In fine condition.
