- Summary
- This poster depicts the Apollo spacecraft hurtling through space next to a man in a hardhat carefully removing labeled boxes from a conveyer belt. The main text reads, “Every Step Counts - to assure a successful lunar mission” followed by “zero damages on delivery.” On the poster is the NASA label for spacecraft components in transit, “Critical Space Item / Handle with Extreme Care.”
- During the Apollo program, people produced components at companies around the United States and in a few foreign countries. To assemble the giant Saturn V rockets and Apollo spacecraft, and ensure the safe return of the astronauts, NASA needed to ship spacecraft parts safely. It was imperative that each part arrive without damage.
- NASA’s Manned Flight Awareness, a program begun in 1963, and later renamed Space Flight Awareness, created posters to enhance employee motivation for job quality and flight safety within NASA and its contractors.
