Description: This listing is for a fragment of Beta Cloth which was flown onboard Apollo 8 - the most important mission in spaceflight history. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to leave the Earth and travel to another world. And it was the riskiest and boldest mission NASA has ever attempted. The artifact measures approximately 1cm across, and it's been mounted to an 8x10" photo for display. This item also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity listing its provenance. This fabric originally belonged to the mission's Commander, Frank Borman. During the flight of Apollo 8, each crew member was allowed to stow a small parcel of personal mementos onboard the spacecraft. One of the mementos carried by Borman was a stack of mission insignia patches, printed on the same fireproof Beta Cloth used for the spacesuits. In 2021, he sold 10 of these patches through Novaspace. The artifacts for sale here came from one of these patches. The COA accompanying this item includes photos of the original patch, along with photos of your specific piece being removed from it. Please note that I have several of these for sale, and so you may not receive the exact item in the photos. However, you will receive one of an identical size, with the same type of documentation. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for viewing this listing!
