Apollo 8, 1968, "Alternate Newsweek Magazine" Cover Art (11x15) This copper (?) printing plate (for the January 6, 1969 edition) was prepared for use as an alternate cover in case the flight was unsuccessful. It has to be remembered that this flight was the first to go to the moon (a last minute decision by NASA) and the magazine was prepared to use this cover in case the flight didn't return. The cover design is similar (but different) from the issued cover and features larger pictures of the three astronauts as well as an "APOLLO TRAGEDY" diagonal banner at the top of the cover. The issued cover has the pictures of the astronauts at the bottom with the moon in the background and "APOLLO TRIUMPH" across the top. There are the usual rubs and dings on the printing plate as might be expected, but the plate is indicative of a tense time in the American space program. Undoubtedly unique and historic.

Apollo 11, 1969, FLOWN Heatshield Fragment (.5x.25") This small fragment was salvaged and mounted by a North American employee after the flight. He presented it to a friend who was a NASA Quality Engineer at JSC in Houston. The mount, which we have not seen before consists of a Command Module shaped clear Lucite cone with the Apollo 11 flight insignia and the sample encased inside (obviously homemade). This is, in turn mounted on a 8" wooden base with a 2.5" metal descriptive plate attached. We haven't seen this configuration for a flown heat shield fragment before. A copy of a notarized COA from the consignor's father (the original recipient of the piece) is included. Striking and rare.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
