Description

Mathematics professor and author (1915-1983) who became a powerful United States government science administrator—eventually rising to the number three position at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In the early 1960s, he either controlled or influenced virtually all non-military unmanned space missions for the free world. Rare vintage ballpoint signature and inscription, "To Louis Mandell, at U. of Arizona dedication of Space Science Building, Homer E. Newell, 26 Jan 1967,” on an off-white 5 x 3 card. In fine condition. Newell remains quite scarce in autograph form, this being the first we've ever offered.
