Cover Honors 10 Years of Firsts in US Space Program
Own this cover that pays tribute to a decade of space achievements by NASA. It pictures astronauts Alan Shepard and Neil Armstrong. Shepard became the first American in space when flew aboard the Mercury-Redstone 3 spacecraft on May 5, 1961. Eight years later, Neil Armstrong was the first person to ever set foot on the surface of the Moon. As he placed his foot on the Lunar dust, he said, "That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind."
This cover was postmarked at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the site of the launches of these spacecraft. It is a neat reminder of the many advances in space flight made in less than a decade.
