The New Nine, the second group of astronauts selected by NASA on September 17, 1962 would prove to be a vital bunch in global history. With members such as Neil A. Armstrong (Apollo 11 & Gemini 8), Frank F. Borman, Jr (Gemini 7 & Apollo 8), Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr (Gemini 5, 11, Apollo 12 & Skylab 2), Edward H. White, II (Gemini 4 & Apollo 1) and others, the group would accomplish 27 missions while sadly losing two members to aviation/space accidents. Offered here is an rare 8" x 10" NASA photograph signed by one of the unfortunate members of the New Nine to parish during the 1966 NASA T-38 crash, Elliot See. Elliot signed & inscribed in bold black ballpoint, "With Best Regards To Grace, Thanks for all the money- Elliot See." Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear. We guarantee this lot to pass PSA/DNA or JSA authentication, and full certification can be arranged for an additional fee (please contact us at info@iconicauctions.com for further details).
