UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE SPACE EXHIBITION ABOUT US MANNED SPACE EXPLORATION AND THE APOLLO MOON LANDINGS. THE PIONEERING YEARS OF MANNED SPACE EXPLORATION AND THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE TO MANKIND
 
***********************************************************************************************************
 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
 
 
Nine space missions and twentyseven astronauts took the historic and breathtaking 385'000 km voyage to another World and twelve of them actually walked on the surface of the Moon.
 
The exhibition represents a priceless legacy and tells the story of the Mercury-Gemini-Apollo space programs and the 6 Moon landings, the most significant occurence of the evolution in the history of mankind - a triumph of the human spirit - the landing of humans on the Moon!
 
Based on probably the largest private space collection about the US manned space program in Europe, collected by myself in over 40 years and consisting of over 500 framed pictures, 80 small scale spacecraft models, space and Lunar flown artifacts, historic mission documents and spacecraft components, original NASA flight plans, vintage Lunar charts, Moon globes and reliefs of Lunar landing sites.
 
ALL space exhibits/artifacts are museum pieces, authentic and ALL are HAND SIGNED with annotations by the pioneering astronauts who flew these breathtaking missions.
These historic and high standard space exhibits provide a unique experience that brings the thrilling reality of manned space exploration to life and to a wide audience.
 
My philosophy and conception are tuned to this wide audience and for them to comprehend in a simple, chronological, educative and spectacular way - the greatest adventure of mankind - the Lunar landings - as illustrated in my documentation consisting of 26 emails with attachments.
 
Further, I have access to original Astronaut space suits, a 1:1 scale Lunar Module, a 1:1 scale Lunar Rover and other 1:1 scale replica spacecrafts as well as an interactive Lunar landing simulator and an interactive space shuttle simulator and original Moon rocks from NASA.
 
My objective is to establish such a space exhibition worldwide on a cooperation or joint venture basis with a museum/science center or with a travelling exhibition organisation/producer. Approx. 1200-1500 m2 of covered facilities with adequate infrastructure would be required.
 
Due to my long standing relationship with the Apollo astronauts, a welcome aspect, to also have a "Moonwalker" present at the opening of the exhibition.
 
Should the exhibition or space event bear your interest please feel free to contact me at any time. I would be glad to email you further information (26 emails), the introduction, the guideline concept and my personal story, as a freelance journalist accredited with NASA (during the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions at Cape Kennedy), with the US space program as well as digital photos showing some of the space exhibitis in close view.
 
Thank you for your kind attention.
 
 
Sincerely
 
Marco E. Baccini
