Felicidades, y gracias. Su oferta ganadora de la colecci&oacute;n personal de Rusty Schweickart significa m&aacute;s de lo que puede saber. Si est&aacute; con nosotros en Flagstaff, puede llevar su art&iacute;culo a casa. Si no lo est&aacute;, nos comunicaremos para confirmar la mejor direcci&oacute;n a la que podamos enviarle el art&iacute;culo. Rusty vol&oacute; en Apollo 9 en 1969 y pas&oacute; las d&eacute;cadas siguientes trabajando para proteger el planeta que vio desde el espacio. El Premio Schweickart lleva adelante esa misi&oacute;n, reconociendo a los cient&iacute;ficos e investigadores que est&aacute;n haciendo el duro trabajo de defensa planetaria hoy en d&iacute;a. Al adquirir esta pieza, no solo est&aacute; preservando la historia. Est&aacute; financiando su continuaci&oacute;n. Cada d&oacute;lar de esta subasta va directamente a apoyar el Premio Schweickart, administrado por la Fundaci&oacute;n B612 y el Instituto de Asteroides. Estos objetos son algunos de los &uacute;ltimos artefactos de Apollo volados por Rusty. Esperamos que encuentre un hogar donde su historia contin&uacute;e siendo contada. Con gratitudDanica RemyPresidenta, Fundaci&oacute;n B612
