This poster uses six photographs to show the astronauts and the lunar rover on the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission. The main text reads, “You were there…with pride and craftsmanship,” implying that each employee went to the Moon through their work.

NASA’s Manned Flight Awareness, a program began in 1963, and later renamed Space Flight Awareness, created posters to enhance employee motivation for job quality and flight safety within NASA and its contractors.

Following a tragic fire that killed three Apollo astronauts on January 27, 1967, NASA worked with the Boeing to develop a program to uncover deficiencies in the Apollo program. The Technical Integration and Evaluation, or TIE, program helped improve communication at NASA, and NASA vigorously renewed its efforts to instill quality work and job safety within the program to prevent future disasters.
