Apollo 16 KSC Permanent Firing Room badge from the collection of NASA test supervisor Chuck Henschel.
Henschel was one of only six individuals to supervise the team of test engineers on the Saturn V rocket launches. Most notably, he was the lead test supervisor on Apollo 4 (the first launch of the Saturn V). He is pictured in the photo starting the launch countdown clock on Apollo 14. Henschel was stationed in the second row (section A) of the firing room.
Asking $375 + shipping

Lead test conductors for the Saturn V missions were Henschel, Phillips, Harrington, Schick, Greenville, and Turner. Here’s a photo of Henschel with KSC Director of Launch Operations Rocco Petrone at Launch Complex 39A (Apollo 11).
