Description

“It was a real blast – It won’t be long till you get a little moondust on your boots, Geno"

Official color glossy 13.5 x 10.75 NASA photo of LMP Alan Bean carrying the ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package) away from the Lunar Module Intrepid during the Apollo 12 mission, affixed to its original 13.75 x 13.5 presentation mount, which is signed and inscribed in black ink, “To Barbara & Geno – It was a real blast – It won’t be long till you get a little moondust on your boots, Geno. Alan L. Bean.” The mount reverse is marked in felt tip, “GC-0544.” In fine condition, some light wear and toning to the trimmed edges. A superb ‘moonwalker’ message between two legendary Apollo astronauts, with Bean’s encouraging words assuredly penned shortly before Apollo 17 CDR Cernan blasted off to the moon for his own historic lunar exploration.
