RR Auctions Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong Handwritten notes "One small step"



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.

RR Auction Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin Signed Baseball


Official Rawlings National League baseball signed in blue ballpoint on a side panel, “Neil Armstrong,” and on the adjoining side panel “Buzz Aldrin.” In fine condition, with a trivial shade of toning over signatures and a slight brush to Armstrong’s signature. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient of the signatures stating “Mr. Armstrong signed the ball on June 1, 1992 when he appeared at a golf tournament at Skyline Woods Country Club in Omaha, NE; Mr. Aldrin signed the ball on June 22, 1993 in Sioux City, IA after throwing out the first pitch before the Sioux City Explorers first-ever home game.” A very scarce format, quite possibly unique. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.

RR Auctions X-ray of Neil Armstrong PGA Left EVA space suit boot


Original one-of-a-kind 14 x 17 X-ray of Neil Armstrong’s PGA Left EVA space suit boot, dated July 7, 1969, only nine days before the launch of Apollo 11. This X-ray was taken at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center as a last minute check to see if any foreign objects were present that could compromise the integrity of Armstrong’s pressure suit, such as broken off needle tips used in the suit fabrication and stitching process. These X-rays were taken and inspected by Jack Weakland, who worked in the NASA x-ray lab from 1968 to 1979, and who stored them during and after the Apollo program. Sometime later the agency determined they were no longer needed and permitted Weakland to keep them. In fine condition. A unique item directly connected to man’s first step on the moon, which shows NASA’s incredible attention to detail on this historic mission. RRAuction COA.

RR Autograph Auction Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong Letter and Photo


Two items: TLS, one page, 7.25 x 9.5, NASA letterhead, stamp-dated December 1, 1962. Letter in response to sent congratulations. In full: “Your letter of congratulations is most appreciated, for to know that people not known to us personally are interested in our recent appointments as astronaut trainees makes us aware of their enthusiasm about the manned space flight program. Please accept the enclosed autographed item in appreciation of your interest”; and a color glossy 7.25 x 9.5 photo of Armstrong posing in his space suit against a lunar background, signed in blue felt tip. Both are double matted and framed together with a small plaque, to an overall size of 28.5 x 25. In very good to fine condition, with several small areas of toning and staining to letter, most likely from show-through of adhesive on reverse, and a few scattered light creases and ripples to photo. A very early piece of correspondence from Armstrong, who had just been chosen as a member of the ‘New Nine’ in September of 1962, which shows the beginnings of the public’s love affair with space travel. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
