2023Back to the Moon - First Day Cover

Our third set of stamps in the Moon Landing series continues the journey of human exploration of the Moon, which started with One Small Step, and was followed by One Giant Leap. In those issues we covered the Apollo Missions, then Skylab, the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. Now we venture on a journey into the future as humans once again head to the Moon, but this time to establish a permanent presence. The Isle of Man is involved in every single Moon mission, through its scientific research, provision of lenses, machinery, instruments and expertise.
