    Description

    This beautiful 3 3/4" x 6 1/2" cacheted, unaddressed envelope marks the explosion aboard Apollo 13. The envelope is postmarked Cape Canaveral, FL on April 14, 1970. The explosion happened at 3:08 UTC on April 14.
    Attached to the envelope is
    a piece of the gold Kapton foil that covered the command module of Apollo 13
    approximately 1/4" on its longest side. So this piece of Kapton flew around the moon and back to earth, exposed to the environment of space the entire way.
    Comes with a copy of the original COA.
    You may notice some tiny gray dots on the image I've posted. These are NOT on the envelope. They are just a quirk of my scanner.

    FREE Gift With All Foreign (non-U.S.) Orders!!! I use eBay's Global Shipping Program to ship all non-US orders. I'm concerned that if I include the limited edition described above, you'll be charged for extra shipping weight (it weighs 6 ounces). So I'm going to send all non-U.S. orders of
    ANY
    size, one of my full color Brooklyn Bridge certificates (eBay item #303562420022) at NO COST to you. That only weighs one ounce, so it should cause no problem. ***
