Smilies Legend
[i]It is the piece of the parachute that was sold on the California auction, and the signatures on the parachute are genuine. On August 7th, 1971 for the first time in Apollo history a parachute was recovered and flown to Houston for inspection. In May 1990 I met Jim Irwin buying several flown items from him. One of my questions was the landing with two parachutes. Irwin told me that the parachute was recovered and flown to Houston. Meanwhile, I found NASA documentation explaining that the parachute brought to Houston was a working one. I have no doubt that this parachute piece came from the moon-flown Apollo 15 parachute.[/i]
