Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR)

This 3x5
index card is hand signed by John
Houbolt. Houbolt as you probably know
was credited for
having effectively promoted the lunar
mission mode called
Lunar Orbit Rendezvous or LOR.
This flight path first endorsed by
Wernher von Braun in June 1961 and was
chosen for Apollo program in early 1962.
This critical decision was viewed as
vital to ensuring that Man reached the
Moon in the 1960's, as President John F.
Kennedy had proposed and in the
process saved billions of dollars and
time by efficiently using existing
rocket technology.

NASA;s Launch Operations Center (KSC).
THis was a position he held from 1962 -

This

personalized in blue ink with the date
of June 25, 1965, during the heyday of
our early manned space program.
One inch of
the right border has been trimmed
leaving the measurements at 7" x 10".
It still contains a massive border on
all four sides.and would frame up
beautifully. It is otherwise in
