Very nice cover! Who designed the artwork for the final flight stamp?

Are there plans for similar final flight stamps for Endeavour and Atlantis?

Good questions. Hopefully, Ken will "drop by" and give us some info on this special stamp and cover and his plans regarding the final flights of Atlantis and Endeavour.

That is a fantastic Discovery stamp.

If you like Ken's "Discovery Final Flight" stamp, wait until you see his "Discovery Final Landing" one...

For the record, the Zazzle.com stamp designs for Discovery's final space launch and landing depicted here came from Jim Roth, our editor of the Space Unit's Astrophile bimonthly journal of the Space Topic Study Guide.

There are other Zazzle images currently in use by my firm in creating different commemorative final Discovery space voyage cover issues. Some of the recent Zazzle issues will include actual photo images of Discovery's farewell liftoff and touchdown-return from orbit.

In addition, similar Zazzle stamp issues will certainly be in use for the shuttle program's last missions of Endeavour and Atlantis.

Zazzle and stamps.com both offer a wonderful service to make up stamps with your artwork or images.

I used stamps.com to create the stamps I used on the covers I created for Bob Whites NAHF Induction.

Can we purchase these stamps at Zazzle or are they being made for the covers only?
