Challenger Signed Photo
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Official NASA Space Shuttle Challenger signed photo, depicting the seven crew-members from the ill-fated ''STS-51-L'' mission. Challenger was to be the twenty-fifth flight of the American Space Shuttle program, which marked the first time an ordinary civilian, schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe, had flown aboard the Space Shuttle. Inscribed, likely by Onizuka, in black marker: ''To Sam -- Our Best Wishes and Many Thanks!'' and signed next to their respective images, ''El Onizuka'', ''S. Christa McAuliffe'', ''Greg Jarvis'', ''Judy Resnick'', ''Mike Smith'', ''Dick Scobee'' and ''Ron McNair''. Mission Specialist Judith Resnick's signature has faded considerably but is still legible. Matte photograph measures 10'' x 8''. Near fine and very scarce.
