[net.space] Space Shuttle Philately

MERMAN@MIT-OZ@sri-unix.UUCP (08/20/83)

From:  Dave Goodine <MERMAN@MIT-OZ>



	STS-8 will be carrying the 250,000 comemorative postal covers
for the U.S. postal service "to commemorate NASA's 25th anniversary".
This, by the way, will be the first night launch of the space shuttle,
and possibly a night landing from the Edwards Air Force Base.
