Please discuss, is this Neil Armstrong signature fake or authentic?

I'd rely on others here for a more authoritative opinion (Ken Havekotte or especially Steve Zarelli) but I'd say authentic for a later era signature (certainly has very good flow with the Sharpie, but the finishing loop is a little atypical).

Now we'll see what the experts say.

For a +/-50 years old "black" sharpie signature it's pretty preserved, not a red flag?

What is this signed on? Is it a cut signature or is the photo a crop?

It is signed on the opposite side of a small invitation card to an event with Neil Armstrong, from early seventies.
