Off to the Moon!

Space - Gemini -Titan &1st moon
John F. Kennedy Space Center N.A.S.A. - NASA's Gemini-Titan 4 that launched McDivitt and White from Cape Kennedy, Florida

Some times I love what is written on the card, and that is what makes the card special... this card was postmarked from Cocoa Beach, Fl on 7-16-1969 - the day Apollo 11 left for the first moon landing, and the sender writes, "We saw the rocket blast-off on Cape Kennedy today." So this person witnessed, first hand, one of man's greatest achievements in history!

I bought this card at a postcard show for one dollar. I think if the vendor would have read the card and looked at the date, it would have been more. ;-)
