Description
In commemoration of the Apollo 17 mission’s final footprints on the moon and the historic achievements of the United States’ first decade of manned space flight, Winco International is proud to present “Celebrating Apollo XVII and the Golden Age of Space,” a new, limited edition framed set.
Commissioned by Apollo 17 commander Capt. Eugene Cernan and authorized by NASA, the “Celebrating Apollo XVII and the Golden Age of Space” framed set pays tribute to NASA’s Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs and dedicates each mission and lunar footprint to those who made them possible.
The timeline and emblems represent this historic era and highlight Mercury’s first journey to space and orbit around the Earth, Gemini’s first spacewalks and first rendezvous, and Apollo’s first lunar orbit. It also remembers Neil Armstrong as the first man on the moon, all the other lunar explorers and the splashdown of Apollo 17.
The edition-exclusive medallion and “First Footprints” emblem are minted using metal that was flown to the moon on Apollo missions. The collage, which is also an edition-exclusive, is hand-signed by Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan, who left Apollo’s final footprints on the moon. The lithograph was created by NASA award-winning artist, Blake Dumesnil.
Measuring 19.75 by 23.75 inches (50.17 by 60.32 cm) framed, “Celebrating Apollo XVII and the Golden Age of Space” is limited to an edition of only 1,972 pieces.
