Cover Commemorates Astronaut's New York City Celebration

On May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper climbed aboard the Faith 7 spacecraft and was launched into space in what would be the last Mercury mission.  During the flight, Cooper orbited the Earth 22 times and spent more time in space than all five previous Mercury astronauts combined.  After more than 34 hours in space, he splashed down safely in the ocean.  On May 22, New York City celebrated his successful flight with a ticker-tape parade attended by over four million viewers.  This cover was postmarked on the day of Cooper's parade and is a neat reminder of his place in history as one of NASA's early astronauts.
