Description
Gordon Cooper Signed Mercury Atlas 8 (Faith 7) Launch Vehicle Color Photo, with Humorous Added Comments. An 8" x 10" silk finish photo on Kodak Professional paper of the rocket on the pad, pre-launch. Cooper shows his great sense of humor by drawing a word balloon from the Mercury capsule with the content: "Z Z Z Z Z". Beneath, he has written: "Will someone wake me at Launchtime?/ Gordon Cooper/ Faith 7". Because of the thirty-four hour length of his mission, the last of Project Mercury, Cooper was the first American to sleep in space. He was also the first (though not planned) to sleep on the launch pad during the countdown as referred to here. Uncommon and desirable. Excellent.Auction Info
