Apollo 10

One incredible "Joystick"


This is the "steering wheel" from mankind's second spacecraft that flew to the Moon... known as the Rotational Control Handle. This steered the Command Module "Charlie Brown" to the Moon, upon which it then guided the spacecraft for the first lunar docking, and then when homeward bound to Earth, it controlled the fastest manned vehicle of all time (a record that probably won't be broken until humans venture to Mars)

Snoopy



Even our comics got involved in the space race and went to the Moon. Snoopy was a favorite. The lunar module of Apollo10 was known as "Snoopy" and the command module was "Charlie Brown."

Original artwork for the Apollo 10 crew emblem


This is the final version, original painting, of the Apollo 10 crew patch. Created by Al Stevens and inscribed and signed by Gene Cernan. I understand that Gene Cernan has the final version Apollo 17 painting which would make it the only other original artwork of an Apollo emblem whose whereabouts is known.
