[b]Space Cover 703: Challenger landing at Kennedy Space Center[/b] Back in Feb 2014, Bob McLeod and Ken Havekotte discussed in Space Cover of the Week 252 about first space shuttle landing at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). From my side, I have little to add. Above cover shows the intended first landing at KSC for STS-7 mission. It sports a KSC machine cancel with date June 24, 1983, same date that Challenger actually landed at Edwards Air Force Base. It is a wrong space cover with a wrong landing place cancel. In addition, cachet is also a bit wrong with blue colour left shifted. For comparison, below a correct first landing space cover at KSC for STS-41B bearing same KSC machine cancel. Are there outside other KSC space covers dated Jun 24, 1983 with this big 1 space cachet?. If so, please post here. We will be pleased to see other examples. Thanks.
