[b]Space Cover #164: John Glenn/Friendship 7 50th Anniversary Covers[/b] Continuing with our tribute to John Glenn and the Mercury-Atlas 6 flight, this week we've presented a few covers for the February 20, 2012 50th anniversary of MA-6. The top cover has the special Cape Canaveral/50th Anniversary Station "First American in Orbit" pictorial cancel, and along with the 2011 Alan Shepard/Mercury stamp, is a Zazzle stamp picturing Glenn's MA-6 launch The next cover has a "50 years of Americans in Orbit" cachet and a large double-ring Cape Canaveral hand stamp cancel that cancels both the Shepard stamp and a 4 cent Project Mercury stamp from 1962. The last cover has a special Glenn/Friendship 7 cachet and a Cape Canaveral February 20, 2012 killer-bar hand stamp cancel. These covers were supplied by Ken Havekotte of SpaceCoast Cover Service.
