Has anyone ever seen this? ASTP HP-65 checklist Message #1 Posted by hecube on 6 Sept 2009, 12:56 a.m. This three-ring checklist (6"x8") was flown used onboard Apollo-Soyuz by Deke Slayton and has extensive pencil notations in his hand. Pristine condition and unique. Fourteen pages plus front and back cover. A 'Slayton' Certificate of Authentication is included and states, in part: 'This checklist book has been on loan for exhibition to the Astronaut Hall of Fame in Titusville, FL and the Air and Space Museum in Huntsville, AL. Ex-Donald 'Deke' Slayton Estate Collection.

I'd certainly like to see what's inside, but being a "checklist," I doubt it contains actual HP-65 code, unfortunately.

Best regards Etienne
