T O P I C R E V I E WjonspaceAre this Apollo 17 flag and certificate authentic? Flown flag is mounted to a certificate reading, "National Aeronautics and Space Administration / John F. Kennedy Space Center / Donald A. Scoville / Presented in appreciation of your role in the success of the Apollo Program. This flag was carried around the moon by the Apollo 17 Astronauts December 10-14, 1972". Signed by Kurt H. Debus, Director Kennedy Space Center. Robert PearlmanGiven that the lot also includes the handwritten account of the Apollo 1 fire by the flag's recipient, Donald A. Scoville, I would say yes, it is authentic. Scoville is listed in the appendix of the Apollo 204 Review Board Report as having been monitoring the plugs out test via a TV monitor in the LC-34 blockhouse at the time of the tragedy.
