New Project Headed by Apollo’s Charlie Duke to Send Messages to Space
When astronaut Charlie Duke walked on the Moon in April of 1972 during the Apollo 16 mission, he brought along a very personal memento with a message he wanted to leave behind.
“When I walked on the Moon, I took a photo of my family along and wrote a brief message on the back of the photo to leave on the Moon,” Duke said. “I wanted my family to be part of my mission and it was my way of taking them with me – to celebrate my family.”
Duke has now helped spearhead a project that allows people on Earth to send their message into space. He says this project, called AstroGrams, enables anyone to celebrate, commemorate or communicate in space in a truly unique way.
…
Duke’s photo that he left on the Moon has long been an inspiration for anyone wanting to leave a legacy in space. On the back of the photo, Duke wrote, “This is the family of astronaut Charlie Duke from planet Earth who landed on the Moon on April 20, 1972.”
The photo shows Duke and his wife Dorothy Meade Clairborne along with their two sons Charles and Thomas, ages seven and five at the time.
