Gene Cernan Gemini IX 8 x 10 "My Spacewalk from Hell" Signed & Authenticated

Description

BLINDED by a malfunctioning spacesuit and spinning uncontrollably because of miscalculations astronaut Eugene “Gene” Cernan thought the second spacewalk in history was likely to be his last.
As one of Nasa’s elite crew of test pilots carrying out dummy runs for the proposed 1969 moon landing Mr. Cernan had already strapped himself to the top of a Titan intercontinental ballistic missile in something resembling a galvanized dustbin – the mind-bogglingly low-tech Gemini capsule.
It was June 1966 and Mr. Cernan, who died on January 16, 2017, was aboard Gemini 9. The three-day Nasa mission in Earth orbit was intended to rendezvous with an unmanned target vehicle but had failed.
Instead, Mission Control instructed Captain Cernan to carry out a two-hour spacewalk.
Captain Cernan was the 12th and last man to walk on the moon during the Apollo-17 moon landing mission.
