Neil Armstrong Signed 8" x 10" Original NASA Photo PSA/DNA 9 MINT
This original NASA-produced 8" x 10" photo of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong has been personally signed by the iconic astronaut with the inscription "To Pete." His stunning blue marker signature has been authenticated by PSA/DNA, earning an impressive grade of PSA/DNA 9 MINT. After the historic Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong famously declared that he would not fly in space again. He later took on a significant role as Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics at ARPA's Office of Advanced Research and Technology, serving for a year before resigning from both the position and NASA in 1971. Armstrong then accepted a faculty position at the University of Cincinnati's Department of Aerospace Engineering. Armstrong, who had completed his master's degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California, noted that he hoped his direct appointment to the faculty, bypassing a traditional academic path, wouldn't cause any discomfort among the faculty. This photo not only represents an iconic moment in history, the first human steps on the Moon, but also the enduring legacy of a man who shaped the future of space exploration. With the significance of Armstrong's career and the authenticity of this signed photo, this is a collector's item you won't want to miss.
