RR Auction: Space Exploration

Auction Details

RR Auction is honored to represent our friend, Bill Lende, with this special auction featuring his incredible personal collection of memorabilia chronicling the space race. Included are one-of-a-kind correspondences to and from top scientists, key players and soon-to-be legendary astronauts who broke the chains of gravity and explored space for the first time. These historically significant items were curated lovingly by Bill for decades, and are a true testament to his admiration of those who launched us into this brave new world, and what it took to accomplish that. Included with these historic letters are incredible items like a flown and fully crew-signed Apollo 11 flag; the rarest of all flown commemorative coins: the Apollo 17 Robbins medallion; and Buzz Aldrin’s gold cartier LM model. We have a unique opportunity to go fishing with Al Worden, CMP of Apollo 15. And after our success last auction, we’re offering more exceptional meteorites from the “Meteorite Men” collection.
