Armstrong, Neil (1930-) American astronaut, first man on the moon (1969). Official NASA color Photograph Signed, no place, no date, 10 x 8 in. Boldly signed in blue ink on the left arm of Armstrong's white space suit. Armstrong was one of nine astronauts selected by NASA in September 1962. On July 20, 1969, as crew commander of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission, Armstrong, followed by fellow astronaut Edwin Aldrin, successfully touched down on the lunar surface, and Armstrong spoke the now-historic phrase, "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his accomplishments and his contributions to the space program. Extremely Fine.
