BUZZ ALDRIN
This unique item consists of six pages mounted to three sheets of poster board to form a presentation on the Apollo 11 mission, the first manned flight to land on the Moon. It's signed by Buzz Aldrin, who accompanied Neil Armstrong to the surface and was the second man to walk on the Moon.
Book page signed "Buzz Aldrin" in blue ink. Labels on verso of poster board. Color, three 20¼x13¼ sheets mounted to three 23¼x17¾ sheets of poster board. This is a set of six book pages (three sheets total) mounted to sheets of poster board, possibly for a presentation or school project of some sort. According to the labels on verso, these items appear to be color copies from The History of Man in Space, with text from NASA's Orders of Magnitude. The pages are all on the Apollo 11 flight, the first manned mission to land on the Moon, and is signed by Aldrin on the first sheet, on page 3. The photo captions are all Latin "Lorem ispum" placeholders used by Web designers as placeholders. Aldrin, born Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr. in Montclair, New Jersey in 1930, was a 1951 West Point graduate who flew 66 missions in Korea, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew F-100s in Germany before persuading the Air Force to send him to M. I. T. for a doctorate. Although he was turned down for the astronaut program in 1962, Aldrin was later aboard one Gemini mission (Gemini 12), and became a close friend of astronaut Ed White, one of the Apollo I astronauts who died in a launch pad fire. Aldrin and Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong left the patch from that ill-fated mission on the surface of the Moon. During the Apollo 11 mission, Aldrin had piloted the Lunar Excursion Module Eagle and became the second man to walk on the Moon (July 20, 1969). Lightly toned, soiled, creased and rippled. Signature trails off edge of page onto poster board but is legible. Light tear on first sheet (does not touch signature). Light discoloration at left edge of first sheet (does not touch signature). Otherwise in fine condition.
