Story Musgrave signed 16'' x 20'' photo of the Hubble Space Telescope, which he helped repair during STS-61. The only astronaut to have flown on all five space shuttles, Musgrave here writes in full, ''Hubble touches people. When you're looking that far out, you're giving people their place in the universe. Science is often visual, so it doesn't need translation. It is like poetry, it touches you. I think if we had not repaired the telescope, it would have been the end of the space station, because the space station requires a huge number of space-walks. I've never really let go and celebrated what I did with the Hubble telescope. As Neil Armstrong said, 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. / Story Musgrave''. Photo measures 16'' x 20'', in near fine condition. With additional LOA from Musgrave.
