Alan Bean signed 16″ x 20″ lunar photo, with a vivid handwritten description by Bean of what it was like to walk and run on the moon, as well as the unexpected dangers lying in wait for the astronauts. Complete text of Bean’s inscription reads, “Running Was Easier Than Walking in the 1/6th Gravity / Running on the moon takes less energy than walking on the moon. This is because it is easier for me to move my small ankle joints than to move my much larger hip and knee joints. As I run about, I must look ahead and not step into any small craters or on any rocks and injure my ankles. Also, I cannot run too close to large craters because if the edge were to give way, I would slip into the crater and be up there a long, long time. Dancing on my tiptoes is the easiest way to move about and it’s a lot fun as well. Alan Bean / Apollo XII LMP [Lunar Module Pilot]”. Semi-matte photo measures 16″ x 20″. Some minimal smudging on inscription, otherwise near fine. Sold for $6,650.

Pencil sketch is numbered 625/1000 and depicts Armstrong in profile, in his NASA space suit.

Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke signed handwritten story regarding the steps taken to increase astronaut safety after the Apollo 1 fire. As one of the astronauts assigned to develop such emergency plans after the accident, Duke had inside knowledge about what was implemented, which he writes about here. Composed on his personal Apollo stationery, document reads in full,
”After the tragic fire of Apollo 1 on the launch pad that had killed Grissom, White, and Chaffee in January 1967, a team had been formed to work out escape procedures for Apollo on the launch pad. If the main engine tanks sprang a leak, or if a problem started in the electrical system that resulted in a fire or if a multitude of other problems occurred, then we had to make an emergency egress out of the spacecraft and leave the launch pad. Stu Roosa and I were assigned to be the astronauts on the team, and after months of work, we had developed two escape routes in case of an emergency on the pad. One way we developed was to exit the spacecraft as fast as possible and to run back across the swing arm to the elevator. The elevator in a high speed free fall would take you to the bottom of the pad. Then you would rush through an automatic sprinkler to wet down your spacesuits, jump into a slide tube and go down the tube to the blast room. The whole vehicle could explode right on top of you and you would be okay as the room was about a hundred feet below the surface of the pad. It was like being in a big bank vault. There was food and supplies for 30 days in case they had to dig you out. The other way off the pad was to exit the spacecraft, then jump into a big basket attached to a slide wire. Then cut loose and go sailing down the wire to a bunker about one fourth of a mile away. Nobody ever had to use either one! / Charlie Duke / APOLLO 16 MOONWALKER”.
