Houston, TX: Johnson Space Center, 1971. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Quarto, 4 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the United States Apollo program, and the third to land on the Moon. It was the last of the "H missions," targeted landings with two-day stays on the Moon with two lunar EVAs, or moonwalks. Commander Alan Shepard, Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa, and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell launched on their nine-day mission on Sunday, January 31, 1971. Shepard and Mitchell made their lunar landing on February 5 in the Fra Mauro formation - originally the target of the aborted Apollo 13 mission. 94.35 pounds of Moon rocks were collected, and several scientific experiments were performed. Shepard and Mitchell spent 33½ hours on the Moon, with almost 9½ hours of EVA. In the aftermath of Apollo 13, several modifications had been made to the Service Module electrical power system to prevent a repeat of that accident, including a redesign of the oxygen tanks and the addition of a third tank.

Washington, DC: GPO, 1968. Wraps. Format is approximately 8 inches by 10.25 inches. Wraps. Profusely illustrated (most in color). Covers creased and somewhat scuffed and some edge wear, small creases at spine. Apollo 8, the second manned spaceflight mission in the Apollo space program, was launched on December 21, 1968, and became the first manned spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit, reach the Moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit; see Earth as a whole planet; enter the gravity well of another celestial body; orbit another celestial body; directly see the far side of the Moon with their own eyes; witness an Earthrise; escape the gravity of another celestial body; and re-enter the gravitational well of Earth. The 1968 mission, the Saturn V rocket's first crewed launch, was also the first human spaceflight launch from the Kennedy Space Center. More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Public Affairs, c1969. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Pamphlet. The format is approximately 10.25 inches by 7.75 inches. 12 pages, including covers. Illustrated front and back cover. Illustrations (some in color). Presents key information by day and time of this historic lunar voyage. After being sent to the Moon by the Saturn V's third stage, the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered lunar orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20. The astronauts used Eagle's ascent stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module. They jettisoned Eagle before they performed the maneuvers that propelled Columbia out of the last of its 30 lunar orbits onto a trajectory back to Earth. They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space. Armstrong's first step onto the lunar surface was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience. He described the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 effectively proved U.S. victory in the Space Race to demonstrate spaceflight superiority, by fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." More

Las Vegas, NV: National Nuclear Security Administration, Nevada Field Office, Office of Public Affairs, 2015. Presumed First January 2015 printing for Rev 1. Single sheet, printed on both sides. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Illustrations (one in color) and text on both sides. The Nevada Test Site was the primary testing location of American nuclear devices from 1951 to 1992; 928 announced nuclear tests occurred there. Of those, 828 were underground. (Sixty-two of the underground tests included multiple, simultaneous nuclear detonations, adding 93 detonations and bringing the total number of NTS nuclear detonations to 1,021, of which 921 were underground.) The site is covered with subsidence craters from the testing. The NTS was the United States' primary location for tests smaller than 1 Mt (4.2 PJ). 126 tests were conducted elsewhere, including most larger tests. Many of these occurred at the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands. The last atmospheric test detonation at the Nevada Test Site was "Little Feller I" on July 17, 1962. More

Las Vegas, NV: National Nuclear Security Administration, Nevada Field Office/National Security Technologies, Office of Public Affairs, 2013. Presumed First thus. DVD-RW. This has two files. One of JVE historic photographs as a powerpoint presentation with about 160 images. The second file is a WMV format and is about a 40 minute video of Ambassador Paul Robinson's remarks shown at the commemoration. The United States part of the Joint Verification Experiment, carried out in 1988 as the Kearsarge event in Operation Touchstone. Twenty-five years later, before tensions increased between Russia and the United States, a joint commemoration of the event was held at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site (formerly the Nevada Test Site). The objective of the JVE was to calibrate the seismic yield estimation capability of underground nuclear explosions conducted in both countries. It involved the unprecedented US yield measurement of a Soviet nuclear explosion at its then nuclear test site in Kazakhstan, and the reciprocal Soviet yield measurement of a US nuclear explosion at the Nevada Test Site.
