A P O L L O 7 (Schirra, Cunningham and Eisele)

The Apollo program was designed to land humans on the Moon and bring them safely back to Earth. Six of the missions (Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) achieved this goal. Apollos 7 and 9 were Earth orbiting missions to test the Command and Lunar Modules, and did not return lunar data. Apollos 8 and 10 tested various components while orbiting the Moon, and returned photography of the lunar surface. Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon due to a malfunction, but also returned photographs. The six missions that landed on the Moon returned a wealth of scientific data and almost 400 kilograms of lunar samples. Experiments included soil mechanics, meteoroids, seismic, heat flow, lunar ranging, magnetic fields, and solar wind experiments.

APOLLO 7 CREW - MULTI SIGNED

	Apollo 7 crew signed NASA Red Stamped photo from the personal collection of former NASA figure William H. Todd. Bill's career in the aerospace industry spanned some of America's most pioneering aerospace programs including the P-51 Mustang, X-15, B-70, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs. He amassed quite a collection over his carreer as a result of his work and this photo was dedicated to him by the Apollo 7 crew. Shows some discoloration from being framed all these years but still in very good condition and absolutely authentic. It's a NASA red stamped photo and measures 8x10.

"Gotcha !!" (Apollo 7)

Hand signed by Wally Schirra

BREAKING THE TENSION OF THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS
PROFESSION WAS A DIRTY JOB, BUT SOMEBODY HAD TO DO IT !

Tom Cruise had nothing on Wally Schirra when it came to "The need for speed" which is exactly how Wally has inscribed this image of him in his Corvette. Unfortunately as he explained it to me, his scarf which was actually a large roll of gauze from Sick Bay nearly hung him when he tossed it out at 40mph. He called this incident a "self imposed Gotcha !" I only have 4 of these remaining and promise you won't find them anywhere else.
