LIFE Magazine "LEAVING FOR THE MOON" by LIFE (Time Inc.) (Magazine, History, Space, 1969, LIFE magazine, Apollo 11 launch, leaving for moon, July 25 1969, astronaut walkout)

This is the July 25, 1969, issue of LIFE magazine, with the cover story "LEAVING FOR THE MOON." It covers the successful launch of the Apollo 11 mission and the astronauts' journey towards the moon.

Review:
This issue captures the powerful and iconic moment of departure. The cover photo of the astronauts walking to the launch pad is one of the most famous images of the 20th century, perfectly encapsulating the human side of this technological marvel.

Author summary:
LIFE magazine, published by Time Inc., had an exclusive contract with the early astronauts for their personal stories. This gave the magazine unparalleled access and made its coverage of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs definitive for the American public.

The value is moderate, forming a key part of the Apollo 11 LIFE series. The grade of this copy is poor, which significantly lowers its value. Its historical interest is very high. These issues are not exceptionally rare, but are highly collectible.
