NASA astronaut and space scientist (1926–1993) who flew on STS-51-F. He died of high altitude pulmonary edema during a climb of Mount Everest. Three ALSs, two one-page and one one page, both-sides, all on NASA letterhead, all from 1975, all to the same recipient. One letter reads, in part: “Concerning the use of Skylab to get to Mars…have you considered the thrust required to put a spacecraft the size of Skylab into a Mars orbit? It would take a giant booster to do this. When we go to Mars it will have to be in a compact not a Cadillac.” Another letter closes with Henize stating “Someday we will be exploring the galaxy in much the same way that Star Trek does.” In fine condition, with punch holes to left edges.
