First edition of this sweeping large-format history of space exploration, signed and inscribed by twelve of the pioneering American astronauts of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Folio, publisher's black cloth, with color illustrations and photographs throughout. Boldly signed and inscribed by the astronauts to Thomas or Mark Babinski, most signing twice, chiefly across the first and second half-title pages with others scattered throughout, the inscriptions dated 1994 and 1995. The signers are: Alan Bean (Apollo XII); Frank Borman (Gemini VII, Apollo 8); Charles Duke (Apollo 16); James Lovell (Gemini 7 and 12, Apollo 8 and 13); James McDivitt (Gemini IV, Apollo 9); Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14); Wally Schirra (Mercury 8, Gemini 6, Apollo 7); Gordon Cooper (Mercury 9, Gemini 5); Walter Cunningham (Apollo 7); John Glenn (Friendship 7); Alan Shepard (Freedom 7, Apollo 14); and Alfred Worden (Apollo 15). In very good condition with tape reinforcement to the front hinge. A rare and desirable collection of signatures. Space: Discovery and Exploration is a lavishly illustrated large-format history of humanity's venture beyond the Earth, from the earliest rockets through the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs to the era of the Space Shuttle. The astronauts who have signed this copy were among the great pioneers of American spaceflight. John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth aboard Friendship 7 in 1962, and Alan Shepard, the first American in space, went on to command Apollo 14 and to walk on the Moon. Among the signers are four more moonwalkers, Alan Bean of Apollo 12, Charles Duke of Apollo 16, and Edgar Mitchell of Apollo 14, together with Frank Borman and James Lovell of Apollo 8, the first crew to orbit the Moon, and Lovell again as commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13. Wally Schirra remains the only astronaut to have flown in all three of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Together their signatures gather the living memory of the first age of human spaceflight into a single volume.…
