4×3 card with printed quote from Bertrand Russell which was flown on the Apollo 9 mission:
The main things which seem to me important on their own account and not merely as means to other things, are knowledge, art, instinctive happiness and relations of friendship or affection.
The quote has been flight-certified and signed in black ballpoint by the Apollo 9 Lunar Module Pilot: “Flown on Apollo 9 / Rusty Schweickart”
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was a British writer, philosopher, and mathematician who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. The quote originates from Russell’s 1922 book The Problem of China that provides a concise analysis of the then-present political and economic situation in China. The quote was flown to space less than one year before Russell’s death.
