Description

An historical rarity! Armstrong writes out “One small step” while jotting down notes of his mission

Unsigned handwritten notes, in pencil, on a cream-colored 8.5 x 11 three-ring binder divider. Armstrong has jotted down notes regarding Apollo 11 related documents and photos he had kept. Armstrong writes: “Apollo design Reg Mission (GE)," "USGS Lunar Surface Maps," “‘One Small Step’—Ltd ed. Print Sandra Lawrence,” “Russian Lunar Maps,” "2 A-11 landing sitemaps," "LM Cockpit Panel Drawing," "Saturn-Apollo Lunar Rendezvous chart." In fine condition, with three punch holes to left edge and a few small corner tip creases. A copious amount of handwriting from Armstrong, with the inclusion of part of his iconic words spoken while becoming the first man to step on the lunar surface. This item represents one of the scant few instances of Armstrong writing out any portion of that quote, as he emphatically refused to quote himself in writing for anyone. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
