Hidden History of Huntington Beach #3 - Space-age signatures

The autographs of some of the space program's most legendary astronauts exist on a sidewalk adjacent to where so much space history was made - Boeing.

Find out if Boeing still owns the property, ask them to contribute them to the HB library rather than city hall

[@abalogh87]

So nice and never knew these were here and I live across the street! Used to be a huge campus for Douglas and Boeing but it’s shrunk so much. Amazon has a warehouse on the corner of that parking lot now.

Didn’t see Pete Conrad’s signature (3rd man on the moon) He was a HB resident for quite awhile, used to sell him camera stuff at the old LATronics...

[@kerriethompson2073]

That's so cool! I never knew this existed! Maybe you have O.C register do an article about this to bring awareness to this little gem. Or maybe an online petition. Thanks for sharing!

Was just here, signatures are no longer here. Maybe someone moved them but they are definitely no longer in front of the building anymore.

Is this still There? Incredible stuff.

[@sandeefreemon6047]

Chris, do you know where these were taken?

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

Wasn't that Douglas in the 60s???

[@nicholasawesomepants4293]

Not there anymore unfortunately! I went to go check them out but they're all gone.

[@fazewest7960]

While we viewed them onsite March of 2018, does anyone have info on their location now? By other comments, they were (thankfully) removed before they began razing the site.

[@derek.invyckb]

it was originally McDonnell Douglas.
