NASA STS-1 Young & Crippen Autographs 1980 on Awards Program

Description

A 1980 NASA awards ceremony had John Young and Bob Crippen giving away the coveted "Snoopy" award to outstanding contractors, and they signed the program boldly on the front.  Signatures confirmed authentic by ASM's Collections Analyst Chuck Jeffrey. Quite unusual to see the paired signatures more than a year before the historic launch of Space Shuttle Columbia for the first time on April 12, 1981.
