Naval Aviation in Space Multi-Signed (9) Print with Neil Armstrong (Ltd. Ed. #31/1000) - 20″ x 27.5″ Limited edition color 20 x 27.5 print entitled ‘Naval Aviation in Space,’ numbered 31/1000, signed in the lower border in pencil by nine astronauts who were also naval aviators: Neil Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Charles Conrad, Jack Lousma, John Glenn, Gene Cernan, Jim Lovell, Wally Schirra, and Rick Hauck. Also signed in pencil by the artist, R. L. Rasmussen. Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 25.75 x 33. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter from the Flightdeck Museum shop and a certificate of authenticity. A decidedly low-numbered edition of this sought-after print. The signatures represent NASA's manned space programs from Mercury through the Space Shuttle, and include the first American in space, the first American to orbit the Earth, and the first and last men to walk on the moon. The nine astronauts who signed were part of a symposium held at the Naval Aviation Museum in 1989, and the print was originally sold as a fundraiser.
