Pin, Apollo 11, 20th Anniversary
Object Details
- Summary
- This Apollo 11 20th Anniversary lapel pin was owned by John Bickers, a Public Affairs representative for the McDonnell Company (later McDonnell Douglas), an aerospace company that held contracts with NASA throughout Project Mercury, the Gemini program, the Apollo program, and the Space Shuttle program. He obtained the pin in the course of that work.
- Lapel pins commemorating specific projects or programs were examples of one type of space memorabilia often distributed to NASA employees and contractors. Wearing this lapel pin would demonstrate one's connection to the program.
- During his tenure with McDonnell, Bickers compiled and edited Press Reference Books for the Gemini Space Missions and supported early Space Shuttle flights.
- He donated the pin to the Museum in 2007.
