Color vintage glossy 11 x 14 photo of President Johnson presenting Buzz Aldrin with the Exceptional Service Medal, inscribed in a calligrapher’s hand, “To: Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, With best wishes,” and signed in black ink, as president, “Lyndon B. Johnson,” and also signed in the lower border in black felt tip by Buzz Aldrin. Creasing to bottom corners, a few smaller border creases, and dings and bumps to top edge, otherwise fine condition.

On November 11, 1966, Gemini 12 lifted off with astronauts James Lovell and Buzz Aldrin aboard. The mission’s objectives involved rendezvous and docking procedures as well as a spacewalk for Aldrin, who spent 5-1/2 hours outside the capsule. On November 23, at LBJ’s Texas ranch Lovell and Aldrin were presented with NASA's Exceptional Service Award. A unique artifact from the early days of the US space program.
