Lot 384
Mercury Program, 1961, "Astronaut Selection" Notes/ PR Drafts, An interesting lot that includes two pages of a handwritten "Astronaut Selection" press release draft on yellow legal pages (ratty at the bottom), a two page draft PR copy showing corrections and marked in green: "See rewrite" and a February 7, 1961 Space Task Group carbon copy of a letter re Mercury Astronaut Television Appearance. All of these are stapled together. ALSO included is a two page original press release: "Astronauts Selected for Initial Mercury Manned Flights" that seems to be an update of the draft on yellow legal pages. An interesting lot that predates the announcement of the Mercury astronauts being named. Usual mixed condition.
Estimated Value $100 - 150,
