Flown ablative heat shield plug attributed to the historic Apollo 8 mission, measuring 1″ long and .5″ in diameter, encapsulated in an acrylic display with an "Eyes on the Stars" Snoopy emblem and an "Apollo 8" caption. The display measures 5″ x 3.5″ x .75″. In fine condition, with light toning to the acrylic. Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit and the first human spaceflight to reach the moon. The crew orbited the moon ten times without landing, and then departed safely back to Earth. A desirable relic from this historic flight.
