U.S. space exploration history on U.S. stamps
With the advent of unmanned and manned space flight a whole new era of American history had presented itself. Keeping with the tradition of honoring the country's history on the face of U.S. postage stamps, the U.S. Post Office began honoring the various events with its commemorative postage stamp issues. The first U.S. Postage issue to depict a space vehicle was issued in 1948, the Fort Bliss issue. The first issue to commemorate a space project by name was the ECHO I communications satellite commemorative issue of 1960. The next to follow was the Project Mercury Issue of 1962. As U.S. space exploration swung into full gear a variety of other commemorative issues followed in the ensuing decades, many of which bear accurate depictions of satellites, space capsules, lunar modules, space suits and other items of interest upon their faces.The topic of Space Exploration history can not be as easily referred to with one word as can other topics such as 'birds' on stamps, or 'insects' on stamps, as the Space Exploration theme itself relates to a number of different subjects. It is nonetheless a very popular topic in of itself, as record numbers of First-Day covers for postage stamps with space themes will attest. The Project Mercury issue of 1962 was canceled more than 3 million times with 'First Day of Issue' cancellations, while the average number of First-Day cancels for other commemorative issues at that time was only around 500,000. In 1969, the Apollo VIII issue received 900,000 First-Day cancels while others received less than half this amount. As the advent of U.S. space exploration grew, so did the topic of Space Exploration on stamps.
