Apollo 16 South Carolina Flag Flown to the Lunar Surface

Apollo 16 South Carolina Flag Flown to the Lunar Surface

This is a great flown item, because it actually spent 3 Days on the Lunar Surface. Most other Apollo flown items offered for sale are Lunar Orbit only items.

This flag comes from Apollo 16 moonwalker, Charlie Duke's personal collection and is of his home state of South Carolina. Charlie had provided 3 forms of provenance, a COA, photos of him holding the piece, and he also inscribed the piece, however it is a little hard to read as it was with blue ink on a blue item!

Rare Astronaut Autographs - Bruce McCandless 16x20s

 
This is a very special framed item Featuring the Autographs of: Charles Basset, Rusty Schweickart, Bill Anders, Don Eisele, Alan Bean, Walt Cunningham, Gene Cernan, Dave Scott, CC Williams and Roger Chaffee, on a small diary page measuring only 2.4 x 4 inches, obtained by a young girl in Iceland, while the Astronauts were on Apollo Geology Training
 
 

 
 
Here are 2 stunning signed 16x20 photos of what I think are the best non-Apollo human spaceflight photos. The first unthered spacewalk of Bruce McCandless operating the MMU. We have 2 shots available - close and far
 
 

 
 
We have just added Apollo 17 to our Hi-res image DVD library page. There are so many hi-res images on this Apollo 17 Image DVD that they had to go over 2 DVDS. With over 4,400 images all at 300dpi, the Apollo 17 DVDs are a real treat from the last mission to the moon

Apollo 11 Dow Unicover - Apollo 13 Flown Card

Apollo 11 crew signed Insurance Cover (Dow Unicover)

This is the rarest of the 3 types of Apollo 11 Insurance Covers, Apollo 11 was the first mission to issue insurance covers as a way to provide money to the astronauts families should they not return from the moon. These covers were signed by all 3 of the crew of Apollo 11 some time before their flight in July 1969

Apollo 13 Flown EVA Prep Card

This Card is printed on very heavy cardstock,and measures 10.25 x 7.75 inches. And was intended to be used when Jim Lovell and Fred Haise were preparing to leave the Lunar Module sitting on the Lunar Surface at Fra Mauro, in order to perform their first EVA on the moon. However, the explosion of an oxygen tank in the command module, put an end to the lunar landing and alas this card serves as a reminder of what could have been.
