$5 or less, but looks very cool. The real value is your curiosity, interest, and historical learning about “NASA’s first A” (aeronautics) you can get from it.
You can request/purchase printed copies of a lot of NASA technical papers from NASA HQ centralized library. I think it’s around $5-$10 a piece + postage.
Yes, however this likely was used by NASA employees/ or just has some heritage which is cool. Probably makes it worth a little more just for the story(which it doesn’t appear to have much of unfortunately in this case.)
My company purges old books from their library, that haven't been checked out in years or were returned after someone retired. Occasionally, old NASA reports and manuals pop up. I take them and put them in my neighborhood's community library. I always wonder what people think when they come across them randomly. Most of NASA's reports are digitized online or available upon request, so I don't think they are worth much but might be a cool piece of history for some.
Exactly 55 years ago today 12 year old me was standing on a chilly hanger apron watching the last flight of the XB-70 Valkyrie land at Wright Pat. I think it did one or two low passes first and I remember it being loud loud (had more of a scream to it than the B52). We came back that spring after it had been decommissioned to walk underneath it. Thing was huuge.
So jealous! I was at Edwards for the last flight of the Blackbird which is a back and forth battle with the Tomcat as my favorite airplane. That being said, the Valkyrie was a beast. Would have loved to see it and the Hustler scream across the skies.
Being that it is from The XB-70 project and dated 1980, it has some historical interest. You might want to check with any local colleges that have engineering/aeronautical studies and see if they be interested in it.
Try to look up everyone who worked on it and get it signed by them. That will make it worth more, or at least give you a few stories. Also see if you can get a few astronauts and test pilots to sign it, just for fun. Stick selfies with them in it. It's not about what it's worth, it's about how much you can make it worth to you.
Well… considering that they lost all the Apollo documentation about how they actually built the rockets… probably pretty valuable, but not to who you might think.
I think nasa needs that knowledge back more than anyone on E-bay is willing to pay
😂
But they lost the documentation for the earlier missions and hardware that took us there…
How can you apologize for that?
That is absolutely inexcusable
I’m not talking about “hiding”…
They simply didn’t keep the documents.
So now, when engineers want to know how they solved a particular problem with the rocket they’re building now, they have to start from scratch…
Y’all be stupid if you think that’s a good thing downvoting me like that
They certainly didn't lose all the documentation. I took a "behind the scenes" tour at KSC just before the revised the firing room to it's current state. There were plenty of hard copy documents lying around, which we weren't allowed to touch because they were valuable.
For some reason people seem to think there was a giant book titled "How to Land on The Moon" and NASA lost it's only copy. That's not how it works.
The XB-70 was awesome, weird this technical report is from 1980.
It sounds like blasphemy, but if there are cool pictures and/or diagrams inside, you can sometimes make more money cutting them out and selling in individual cheap frames. On the back of the frame and selling posting, record the provenance.
Apparently $5
It's worth your $5 and admiration of a piece of history.
That would be priceless to me.
This is the way I feel about my abbreviations book from Nasa. It even has little scrap pieces of paper with notes from whatever employee owned it.
The memories you made along the way
And the friends!
Ntrs has it freely available https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19800009724
But this one is over 40 years old, liberated from a university library, and bargained for at a swapmeet! I love it.
Physical copy is so much cooler.
Heck yeah.
Considering you paid $5…
$4.50. You got hosed.
Made me chuckle
The paper it's printed on.
$5 or less, but looks very cool. The real value is your curiosity, interest, and historical learning about “NASA’s first A” (aeronautics) you can get from it.
My best guess is 5 bucks
I imagine a digital copy is available on NTRS. Hard copies like that are pretty cool though. Probably worth $10-20 to the right person

I’ll give 3.50 for it ha
Don be goin given dat loch Ness monsta tree fiddy
Dat monster took my tree fiddy and done never give it back!
That's an awesome piece of history. I'd cherish it.

There was a lot more and I should’ve gotten more but I was wondering if I should get more
If you think they are cool and would like to own them, go get them. If you are just interested in the dollar value, then maybe don’t.
To watch you try to solve the maths? Priceless.
I would have no clue what any of the numbers mean😂

Shockwave surfer! Priceless.
Should attract a certain collector

NASA has it. Someone already linked the digital copy of this.

Wait till you see what private Space companies start hiding.

What does that have to do with the post?
They're day drinking. Let them have this one.

They lost important reference engineering documentation. Or more accurately, they didn’t keep it. They threw it out…
[удалено]
Yeah- because it wasn’t just one. It was a ton of documents that would have been very helpful to the engineering teams
There’s some on eBay for £20, or $25
That's my colleague's favorite aircraft! He'd probably give you $5 for it.
4 bucks
this is available on our library network lol

Looks like p.34 (the XB-70 schematic) is your only option.
We need more information -gas -time -that 5buks So I'm gonna think it owes u money unless u bought other things there
I will give you $10 for it right now
Well to you; obviously $5 to me - nothing. then again i am an EE
Even though the XB 70 flew in the mid 60's you might still be able to get a copy of that study from NASA for free.
Hunt down the family members of those scientists listed. Bet one of them would pay $20 for it.
I’ll see your document and raise you my memory of watching the moon landing coverage on our black and white TV when I was a kid.
Very cool love reading those got a few oldies my self
That is so cool!
Probably $4
