Featuring three horses traveling from the Earth to the Moon with the Sun in the background. “Ex Luna, Scientia” is Latin for “From the Moon, Knowledge.” The emblem is mounted on a Typed Letter Signed by JAMES LOVELL All on an 11 by 20 inch light gray mat board displaying a color photograph of the damaged Service Module where an oxygen tank explosion caused a loss of power and breathing oxygen to Command Module Odyssey . The Apollo 13 lunar landing mission was cancelled, and Lunar Module Aquarius was used as a 'lifeboat.'
