Legedary NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz has boldly signed the offered vest "Eugene F. Kranz /'Flight.'" Kranz was NASA's second Chief Flight Director, directing missions of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, including the first lunar landing mission, Apollo 11. The offered replica vest is an homage to Gene's wife, who would sew a new custom vest that Gene wore in Mission Control during each of his NASA missions. He directed the successful efforts by the Mission Control team to save the crew of Apollo 13. When Jim Lovell said, "Houston, we've had a problem," they were talking to Kranz and his team. Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.
