There is both triumph and tragedy in these signed photographs of many heroes of this noble pursuit. Not only does one relive the history of the missions in these images but also the spirit of competition and cooperation between America and Russia. Signatures include space pioneers such as Yuri Gagrarin, Alan Shepherd, John Glenn, Frank Borman, Al Bean, Edwin Aldrin, Scott Carpenter, and Valeriy Kubesvo & Tom Stafford (on US-USSR joint shuttle), but also some of those who gave their lives to the cause like Gus Grissom and Ron McNair & Ellison Onizuka, both of whom died in the Shuttle Challenger explosion (whose photos include NASA commemorative stamps). Signatures average NRMT. Approx. 24 pieces in all, some handsomely mounted. Most are NRMT.
