While July 20, 1969 is likely the date that most people associate with the first man on the Moon -- it being the day (by U.S. time zones, at least) that Neil Armstrong first set foot on the lunar surface -- it was this day 40 years ago, September 9, that many if not most have marked down on their souvenir of the event.

When we were at the Space Camp induction in Huntsville for our esteemed founder Mr. Pearlman, we came across these items in the store at the Saturn V building. They only had a couple so I would not know if there are any more as this was back in July.

We picked them up as we are great fans of Paul and Chris Calle.

We had the opportunity to meet them at Spacefest this year and they are wonderful, sincere and approachable people as you would ever meet. You could listen to their stories all day and we enjoyed the talk that was given at Spacefest as one of the highlights of the event.

We thought we would share our find of covers there in Huntsville with the community.

Does anyone know if they have any of these covers left still?

The first one with the mission patch used to be sold by LOVAURA, who have sadly ceased trading. So I would guess that there are some out there somewhere?

I was looking for Power to Go. I sent an email to Calle Art so maybe they can help.
