EDITORS COMMENTS
First Day Cover Commemorating the Moon Landing on July 20, 1969: A Piece of History This First Day Cover, issued on July 21, 1969, marks the momentous occasion of the first manned moon landing by the United States. The cover features portraits of the Apollo 11 crew: Commander Neil Armstrong, Pilot Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. The cover bears the official US stamp commemorating the event, with the inscription "First Man on the Moon - Apollo 11." The envelopes were postmarked at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on the day of the historic launch, July 16, 1969. Armstrong famously set foot on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, while Aldrin followed suit, becoming the second man to walk on the moon. Collins, the command module pilot, remained in lunar orbit, ensuring the safe return of his colleagues. This First Day Cover is a testament to the world's collective excitement and awe at this groundbreaking achievement in human history. The autographs and signatures of the astronauts, obtained at various events, add an exclusive touch to this unique piece. The 1960s, and particularly the 60s, were a time of incredible progress and innovation, with space exploration leading the charge. This cover is a reminder of the courage, determination, and ingenuity of the American people and their astronauts, as they reached for the stars and set foot on the moon for the first time.
