I'm looking for some help in determining what an original Gemini 11 pre-flight astronaut interview document is worth. It's a 22 page, one sided transcript from NASA for the Gemini 11 Astronaut Interviews General Session held at the Gemini News Center at the Manned Spacecraft Center on August 20, 1966. The participants were Charles Conrad and Richard Gordon, the prime crew of Gemini 11, and Neil Armstrong and William Anders, the backup Gemini 11 crew. During the press conference the astronauts describe, in detail, the M-1 maneuver (the first time docking with the Agena on the first orbit will be attempted), Dick Gordon's EVA training and what he will do in-orbit, the tether experiment with the Agena, several of the other experiments that will be conducted during the mission and a discussion of some of the issues that required redesign of flight hardware. Pete Conrad also talks about the astronaut weight and balance procedure and why it is important.
The condition is very good+ with only the cover page showing some wear (a crease in the lower right side and several staple holes in the upper right corner.
Note that the cover page is also signed by Dick Gordon.
I haven't seen any original Gemini pre-flight press conference transcripts before so your input will be appreciated.
Please send your reply to my e-mail address: randyconstantin@yahoo.com.
