Typed and signed speech, 16 pages, 8.5 x 11, given on June 5, 1990. Speech is titled “Reflection of the Moon,” and reads, in part: “I had a great time on the moon. It was a fantastic experience. If you've ever watched the tapes of our landing, you'll note I was laughing and frolicking for most of the time I spent on the lunar surface. There was a sense of elation and exhilaration. The moon was stark but beautiful, and I was amazed at how truly small it was…President Kennedy had set the objective to go to the moon in this decade. In 1964 and 65, it was a foregone conclusion that we would be going to the moon on a steady basis…In 1967 President Johnson stopped the entire program. We were all dressed up with nowhere to go. It is very frustrating to be sitting here today.” Signed on the last page in black ink, “This speech was delivered June 5, 1990 at an International Space Conference in Hiroshima, Japan. It was the keynote speech and was delivered at the invitation of the Governor of Hiroshima, Mr. Takeshita. Charles Conrad, Jr.” In fine condition. Provenance: Steven R. Belasco Collection.
