[b]Space Cover #014, Apollo 11 Moon Landing[/b] On this very special day, the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moonlanding, we have selected a special cover that commemorates this historic event. This week's space cover has a Kennedy Space Center machine cancel dated July 20, 1969; a 6 cents stamp issued for the Apollo-8 first lunar orbitial mission and the impressive Apollo 11 crew patch/mission emblem cachet. It's basically a simple cover, with just the three basic elements that every good space cover should have; nice cachet; proper cancel and appropiate stamp. As such, it serves as a signicant and handsome souvenir of man's greatest space achievement. This one cover is just one of hundreds and thousands of covers cancelled aroung the world to commemorate man's first lunar landing and walk on the moon. Unlike almost all of us present day space enthusiasts and collectors, this cover was there at Kennedy Space Center when Apollo 11 was launched and when man first walked on the moon.
