Outstanding first-hand account of Duke’s experience on the lunar surface written in the lower portion of a color 15.5 x 9.5 panoramic image of the Apollo 16 lunar module and rover on the lunar surface. Duke writes, in part: “Boy was I excited. The day had finally arrived—today we would walk on the Moon! The LM shades were rolled up, and the reflected sunlight was streaming in. It was a beautiful moon day, a perfect day for a moonwalk! Apollo 16 commander, John Young, was out first and as soon as he finished his speech, it was ‘here I come, babe!’ I quickly climbed out the hatch and down the ladder and jumped on the ground. ‘Fantastic! That's the first foot on the lunar surface,’ I announced. ‘It's super, Tony, we're making little footprints here about one-half inch deep.’ It wasn't much of a speech, but I was really excited. Just imagine, I thought to myself, since the beginning of time, no human being has ever walked in this spot before… Now, as I look back at the Moon, I hope that our footprints will lead the way for future explorers." Signed at the conclusion, “Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 LMP.” Nicely double-matted and framed to an overall size of 22 x 16. In very fine condition.
