[meteorite-list] Petition For a Pluto New Horizons Stamp

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,

The USPS has issued a stamp for the exploration
of each and every planet reached by a human
spacecraft. By 1991, the only planet not yet
explored was Pluto, and they issued a stamp
that said "Pluto - Not Yet Explored."

Of course, in March 2015, if all goes well, the
New Horizons mission will reach Pluto. Don't
you think it will deserve a stamp of its own to
correct that 1991 stamp when it gets there,
in 2015?

Since, stamp petitions have to be filed three
years in advance of an expected issue date, that
means petitions have to be filed by March 13,
2012.

Only takes a second or two...
