Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is approximately 12 inches by 15 inches. 267 pages. Illustrated endpaper. 278 illustrations, including 143 in full color (from DJ front flap) and fold-out mission diagram. Some illustrations are tipped in (two have some looseness. Includes essays entitled Man and the Moon by Silvio A. Bedini, A Step Toward Immortality by Wernher von Braun, and The Moon Gives Up Its Secrets by Fred Whipple. Other sections are entitled: Introduction, The Space Age, Apollo 11 To the Moon, Moon Talk, The Moon Revisited [about the Apollo 12 mission], and Space Age Chronology. There is a listing of Maps and Charts and Photo and Chart Credits. The title page has the signatures in ink of Silvio A. Bedini and the crews of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, Charles Conrad, Dick Gordon, and Alan Bean). The pages are made of high gloss paper, and ink can bead before drying. It has been reported that NASA astronauts were provided with signature stamps they could personally use, in addition to, or instead of, personally signing items. In this book, there are variations in the color in some signatures, such as Dick Gordon's, which make his signature more likely to be personally signed than personally stamped. It is clear is that each of the six astronauts personally signed or stamped their signatures on this book, most likely at the same time. The book has been clearly signed by the author Silvio A. Bedini. This is a wonderful book that is focused on the missions of Apollo 11 and 12, and has this signature connection to each crew member. Rare in any signed form. This book traces the long history of man's striving to reach out to the moon, an effort that culminated in the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 moon landings. Silvio A. Bedini (January 17, 1917 - November 14, 2007) was an American historian, specializing in early scientific instruments. He was Historian Emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution, where he served on the professional staff for twenty-five years, retiring in 1987. This publication date of this book is listed as 1973 in Dr. Bedini's bibliography, but elsewhere the publication dates of 1970 and 1972 have also been given. Fred Lawrence Whipple (November 5, 1906 - August 30, 2004) was an American astronomer, who worked at the Harvard College Observatory for more than 70 years. Amongst his achievements were asteroid and comet discoveries, the "dirty snowball" hypothesis of comets, and the invention of the Whipple shield, which protects spacecraft from impact by small particles by breaking them up. Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun (23 March 1912 - 16 June 1977) was a German-American aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Germany and a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States. Von Braun served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. Very good (in a plastic sleeve).

Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed by Wernher von Braun on the title page. [viii], 126 pp. Bound in publisher's green cloth stamped in silver. Very Good with moderate wear and soiling to covers, 1-3/4 inch tear to lower edge of contents page. Gift inscription dated 1984 to half-title page. Offsetting from two newspaper clippings taped to facing page, likely indicating occasion of book's signing. In a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with moderate edgewear and toning. Dr. Wernher von Braun was a brilliant and visionary German engineer and onetime SS Stormbahnfuerer who led the V-2 ballistic missile program during the Second World War. He convinced his colleagues to surrender themselves and their materials to the Americans after the war, ignoring orders to kill themselves rather than fall into enemy hands. The Americans knew a good thing when they saw it and smuggled 118 German scientists, one hundred V-2s, and tons of related components and documents out of the country. To Stalin's fury, the Soviets were left only with lower-level rocket scientists to press into service, hindering their performance in the Space Race years later. Once in the United States, von Braun spent fifteen years working for the United States Army on ballistic weapons, but his true passion was space travel. He once told a group of British journalists: "The V-2 was a fine rocket. The only thing wrong with it was that it landed on the wrong planet." Frustrated with being sidelined, von Braun convinced Collier's associate editor Cornelius Ryan, whom he met at a symposium on space medicine in San Antonio, to run a series on space travel. The magazine series provided the material for The Conquest of the Moon, published in 1953 by Viking. Neil Armstrong read the book when he returned from his tour of duty in Korea, and it influenced his decision to become an astronaut. Von Braun's work, co-written with popular science writers and beautifully illustrated by Chesley Bonestell, inspired the U.S. government as well. In 1960, President Eisenhower transferred von Braun's rocket development group from the Army to the newly established National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), separating space science from military science for the first time. Von Braun became the director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and was in charge of developing the Saturn space boosters used as the launch vehicles for the Apollo Moon program. His work was essential in the competition with the Soviet Union, and the former Nazi was lauded as a national hero.
