I hadn't expected anything like this--to slip off this unstable satellite and go tumbling to God-knows-where. Where was my cumbersome 50-foot umbilical cord? Not tangled up with the Agena, I hope, but I couldn't see it nor John Young in the Gemini, so hope was the best I could do." --MICHAEL COLLINS 2004 Gemini 10 actually renezvous'ed with two Agena docking targets, the first was their own, which used its powerful rocket to kick them up to a (then) record-setting altitude to rendezvous with the dead Agena from Gemini 8, parked in a high orbit. Collins was to retrieve an experiment package from Agena 8, and finally did, losing his Hasselblad camera, full of pictures, in the process. ABOUT THE ARTISTJames Dean was former art director at NASA, and curator of the National Air & Space Museum. Beyond My Grasp was the cover of LIFTOFF by Michael Collins, and he also illustrated the book with 88 B&W ink drawings.

There's a long, long story behind this one. Simply, this print was first begun in 1986, but out-lived three of the signees before it even became available to the public. It emerged from years of litigation and false starts, and now the signing astronauts have specifically asked Novaspace to finally give it the exposure it deserves. The late Jim Irwin was the first to sign, and 10 other moonwalkers have added their autographs over the years. All 6 lunar landings are represented. A total of ELEVEN moonwalkers have signed this print: Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Jim Irwin, Dave Scott, Charlie Duke, John Young, Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt. All unquestionably authentic. The signing astronauts OWN this edition and Novaspace is the ONLY place you can get one. The remaining moonwalker - Neil Armstrong, quit signing over 10 years ago, so this is considered complete. If he did sign, the price would be unreachable to all but the very rich. This print measures an enormous 25x31, and framed it is 33x39. It was painted by artist Ron Lewis, in an edition of 1000, signed and numbered. It is printed on acid-free, very heavy stock in pristine condition, despite being handled repeatedly over nearly 20 years. They were even shipped to us in custom-made, locked metal crates! Each portrait was done from the astronaut's NASA WSS (white space suit) portrait, and beside each bust is a little vignette of the astronaut in action, doing something unique to him on the moon (Conrad with Surveyor, Shepard's chip shot...) It makes a nice, large, displayable vehicle for these historic signatures. Remember: Signers Conrad, Shepard and Irwin have left Earth permanently, so nothing like this will ever be possible again. Each print comes with an unchallenged certificate of authenticity.

This was confirmed on one of his spaceflights, and Leonov painted this work to illustrate the phenomenon. City lights show through the clouds.

It is the first cyclone depicted by an artist from space. It shows the unusual size of this system, which poked through the Earth's ionosphere, and spread over nearly a quarter of the globe.

Each archival-quality print is hand signed by the astronauts, sequentially numbered and accompanied by a framable certificate of authenticity. In 1975, the historic first linkup of American and Soviet spacecraft took place between an Apollo capsule (18 months after the final moon landing) and a Soviet Soyuz. The crews included the legendary Alexei Leonov, the first man to walk in space, and the late Donald "Deke" Slayton, making his first and only flight, despite being chosen as one of the original Mercury astronauts. Slayton was the Chief Astronaut, grounded because of a medical problem, but requalified for this historic mission. Signatures in pencil of Commander Thomas Stafford, Deke Slayton(d. 1993), and Soviet crewmen Leonov and Valery Kubasov. PRICES AND AVAILABILITY SUBJECT TO CHANGE
