Greetings List,

I know this is not exactly on-topic, but it may be of interest to
someone on this list.

I have a sizeable stack of NASA Apollo/Moon Landing memorabilia that I
am going to sell - the money from this sale will be used to purchase
meteorites. So, I thought before I offer this to some space collector
friends of mine, I would offer it up to the list to see if anyone
wants to trade some meteorites for this Apollo material. Contact me
off-list if interested. I am interested in almost any kind of
meteorite material - either for my own collection or for resale. I
need some small Canyon Diablo irons, Tagish Lake, moldavite, LDG, and
eucrite. I'm also looking for any recent falls from 2000 to 2010.
No lowball offers please - the newspapers in this offer are very
scarce in this complete condition. And some of the lithographs (like
the Soyuz ones) are very hard to find in mint condition. Photos are
available upon request.

Here is what I have -

1) Newspapers from around the world, that cover the first Apollo
launch and the moon landing. Dates are July 17, 1969 for the launch
papers and July 21, 1969 for the moon landing. These are the entire
newspapers, not just the front page headline. So they are also chock
full of news stories and advertisments. They also feature special
sections on the Apollo program which are loaded with photos and
diagrams. The German newspaper has a giant full-color fold-out of
Apollo.

International Herald Tribune - "Apollo 11 Soars After Perfect
Blast-Off, All "Looking Good"; Next Stop the Moon"

Bild Zeitung (Germany) - "Der Monde ist jetzt ein Ami" (huge color
fold-out included)

London Daily Telegraph - "Americans First on the Moon - Eagle touches
down in "football pitch"

Financial Times - "Astronauts touch down on the Moon"

Iberian Daily Sun (Madrid, weekly, July 22) - "Bye Bye Moon, and back to Mama"

Madrid Diario de la Noche (Madrid) - "La Luna Ya Es Del Hombre"

These papers also feature headlines for the Soviet Luna 15 program,
Ted Kennedy's Chappaquidick scandal, and more.
