Every milestone has a genesis and every hero has a beginning, in the case of the 1969 Moon Landing and the American victory in the "Space Race" it all started right here! These were the original seven Mercury Astronauts chosen to take America to the Moon, all wearing their flight suits in what has gone down in history as the most important image of its kind ever taken. Reproduced a million times, this is the only black and white original we have ever seen in any form offered for sale! An official NASA photograph dated on the back from 1968, this is a museum quality relic of American history whose importance can not be overstated. This specimen is a new discovery being offered here for the first time ever and it presents beautifully grading a perfect 10/10. While technically this is a restrike, it was developed by NASA off the original negative only six years after it was snapped!
