Replica "Fallen Astronaut" Memorial Statuette and Plaque

Description: "Fallen Astronaut" is an aluminum sculpture of an astronaut in a spacesuit, which commemorates astronauts and cosmonauts who have died in the advancement of space exploration. It is at Hadley Rille on the Moon, placed there by the crew of Apollo 15 on August 1, 1971, along with a plaque bearing the names of eight American astronauts and six Soviet cosmonauts who had died. The artist - Paul Van Hoeydonck - was given a set of design specifications: the sculpture was to be lightweight but sturdy, capable of withstanding the temperature extremes of the Moon; it could not be identifiably male or female, nor of any identifiable ethnic group. David Scott photographed the memorial, along with Fallen Astronaut (last photo), and it is still there. Here is a full size, 3D printed replica of the ONLY (so far) piece of art on the Moon. Measuring about 4" long, in silver colored plastic, the Statuette is accompanied by a replica of the plaque (first photo) with the names of the fallen. Plaque is silver-finished plastic and is about 4.8" X 6.2". Statuette will have visible layer lines since it is 3D printed. The Americans were Theodore Freeman, who died in an aircraft accident, as did Charles Bassett I, Elliot See and Clifton C Williams. Virgil Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Edward White II died in the Apollo 1 fire, while Edward Given died in a car crash. On the Soviet side, Vladimir Komarov died when his Soyuz 1 re-entry parachute failed, Yuri Gagarin was killed in a place crash and Pavel Belyayev lost his life to illness. Georgiy Dobrovolsky, Viktor Patsayev and Vladislav Volkov all died when the Soyuz 11 re-entry pressurisation failed.
