Summary[edit]

Description
English: Insurance cover of Apollo 12 mission (14 to 24 November 1969) in the Technik Museum Speyer, Germany. Signed by the Crew: Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad, Command Module Pilot Dick Gordon and Alan Bean, Pilot of the Lunar Module. Insurance covers from Apollo 11 to Apollo 16 were signed by the crew members in quarantine just before the start. Those documents limited to a few hundred copies are the rarest and therefore most expensive letters of those missions. They were handed over to the families of the crew members after signing as an insurance form. In case of a failure of the mission and the death of the astronauts, no conventional insurance coverage existed, the family members could sell those covers.
Deutsch: Versicherungsbrief der Apollo 12 Mission (14. - 24. November 1969) im Technik Museum Speyer. Signiert von der Besatzung: Kommandant Charles "Pete" Conrad, Pilot der Kommandokapsel Dick Gordon und Pilot der Mondfähre Alan Bean. Versicherungsbriefe wurden bei Apollo 11 bis Apollo 16 von den Crewmitgliedern in der Quarantäne kurz vor dem Start signiert. Diese auf wenige hundert Exemplare limitierten Belege sind die seltensten und damit teuersten Briefe dieser Missionen. Sie wurden nach dem Unterzeichnen den Familien der Crewmitglieder als eine Versicherungsform übergeben. Im Falle eines Fehlschlags der Mission und dem Tod der Astronauten, für den es keinen herkömmlichen Versicherungsschutz gab, konnten die Familienangehörigen diese Briefe dann verkaufen.
