Additional Details

The poster was on display at a security check point which issued badges to allow entry into the Mission Control room prior to and during the Apollo 16 flight at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas. As key individuals and astronauts paused to receive their badge, an industrious employee asked that each sign this poster before they entered Mission Control. The signatures clearly illustrate the number of individuals required in flight operations to accomplish a successful lunar landing.
