Vintage 1969 framed lithograph Armstrong Aldrin Collins July 1969 Apollo 11 Moon

Original 1969 vintage cardboard lithograph celebrating the heroes of the July 1969 Apollo 11 NASA mission to the Moon. Let’s recap the facts: Apollo 11 (July 16–24, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent about two and a quarter hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base upon landing. Armstrong and Aldrin collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material to bring back to Earth as pilot Michael Collins flew the Command Module Columbia in lunar orbit, and were on the Moon's surface for 21 hours, 36 minutes before lifting off to rejoin Columbia. Quite a powerful image, with a time travel feel, as it was designed that same year, 55 years ago… The print shows its age a little, with wear all along the edge, and small tears on the top left corner (see pictures). I don’t think it matters much, though, as it doesn’t impact the visual effect of the print, even up close, and is commensurate with its age. Nevertheless, if it is an issue to you, you can always use the white matte I provide. It completely conceals the imperfections in the top left area (see pictures).
