LIFE Magazine "Off to the Moon" by LIFE (Time Inc.) (Magazine, History, Space, 1969, LIFE magazine, Apollo 11, Off to the Moon, Neil Armstrong, July 4 1969)

This is the July 4, 1969, "Special Issue" of LIFE magazine, titled "Off to the Moon." It was published just before the Apollo 11 launch and features Neil Armstrong, a look at the history of flight, and an essay by Charles Lindbergh.

Review:
A historic and evocative issue of LIFE that captures the world's anticipation just before humanity's greatest journey. The "Message from Charles Lindbergh" adds a poignant link between two eras of exploration.

Author summary:
Time Inc. was the publisher of LIFE, one of the most influential American magazines of the 20th century. LIFE was renowned for its photojournalism and its in-depth coverage of major world events, with the space race being a cornerstone of its content in the 1960s.

The value is moderate to high, but this copy's grade is very poor, with heavy wear and tear, drastically reducing its value. Its historical interest is immense as the prelude to the moon landing. While not extremely rare, good copies are sought after.
