A graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Shepard saw action with the surface navy during World War II. He became a naval aviator in 1947, and a test pilot in 1950. He was selected as one of the original NASA Mercury Seven astronauts in 1959, and in May 1961 he made the first crewed Project Mercury flight, Mercury-Redstone 3, in a spacecraft he named Freedom 7. His craft entered space, but was not capable of achieving orbit. He became the second person, and the first American, to travel into space. In the final stages of Project Mercury, Shepard was scheduled to pilot the Mercury-Atlas 10 (MA-10), which was planned as a three-day mission. He named Mercury Spacecraft 15B Freedom 7 II in honor of his first spacecraft, but the mission was canceled.The most expensive item with a signature of Alan Shepard (Easton Press Moon Shot by Alan Shepard SIGNED w/ COA Astronauts Library) was sold in December 2022 for £542.44 while the cheapest item (Alan Shepard (Apollo 14) - Repro-Autogramm, 20x27cm, Signed Repro Autograph) found a new owner for £5.82 in April 2021.
