Title:
Richard Nixon Signed Apollo 11 Commemorative Plaque Print with Authentic Kapton Foil – PSA/DNA GEM MT 10 Auto Grade (Cert #85419223)

Description:
Offered here is a highly collectible cut signature of President Richard Nixon, professionally slabbed and graded GEM MT 10 by PSA/DNA. The autograph is displayed on a stunning commemorative print of the iconic Apollo 11 lunar plaque—featuring the famous message: "HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH FIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOON JULY 1969, A.D. WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND." The plaque bears printed facsimile signatures of the Apollo 11 crew—Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin—as well as Richard Nixon, who served as President of the United States during the Moon landing. Below the message is an embedded swatch of gold-colored Kapton foil, a heat-shielding material that actually flew aboard the Apollo Lunar Module to the Moon and back. The presentation is clean, with excellent contrast and preserved in a tamper-proof PSA/DNA slab. Nixon’s autograph is crisp and placed below the text.

Historical Context:
On July 20, 1969, the United States achieved one of the greatest milestones in human history as Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon. The commemorative plaque they left behind on the lunar surface carried this very inscription, serving as a message of peace and scientific achievement to all nations. President Richard Nixon, who spoke with the astronauts during their Moonwalk in a now-iconic broadcast, played a pivotal role in supporting NASA’s ambitions during the height of the Cold War. The inclusion of Kapton foil—retrieved from the actual Apollo Lunar Module—adds tangible lunar mission provenance to this piece, bridging both historical memory and physical connection to spaceflight.
