<B>Donald K. Slayton (1924-1993) Color Photo Signed</B></I> "<I>Best wishes to Buzzy-/ D K Slayton</B></I>". One of the original "Mercury Seven" astronauts chosen by NASA. A heart condition kept Slayton out of space; he served as NASA's Director of Flight Crew Operations from 1963 until 1972. Eventually cleared for flight, Slayton was docking module pilot on the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Mission at which point he was the then-oldest person to fly into space. He retired from NASA in 1982. The photo is an 8" x 10" NASA-issued lithographed pose in a business suit. <I>From the Byron "Buzzy" George Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
