Former NASA astronaut Fred Haise has signed this photograph of the Saturn V rocket at its launch for the Apollo 13 mission. Haise was the lunar module pilot on the Apollo 13 mission, which nearly ended in disaster due to an explosion of an oxygen tank in space. Due to the accident, Haise and his crewmates set a record as the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth, at 248,655 miles. This photograph, which measures 11 x 14 inches, is full of vivid color, and has been signed by Haise in black marker. He inscribed “An exciting Day with the Saturn V liftoff starting us on our way to the moon!” and “Apollo 13 LMP”. This item comes with a COA from JSA (Q28823).
