The job isn't done until the paper is completed - Apollo 11 Moon Manifest

If you have travelled internationally you have probably had to fill out one of these on the flight back to the U.S.
It appears that the Apollo 11 Astronauts did too.


I found this in a pile of materials in the Government Pavilion at the EAA Airventures Airshow two weeks ago.



The operator of the flight is listed as "NASA" and the flight number is "Apollo 11".



They declared moon rock and dust.



All three Astronauts had to sign the declaration and the chief inspector at the Honolulu airport signed as approved.



I guess it just goes to show that no one gets a break when dealing with government paperwork.
