Description : Hommage to President Kennedy, Mercury Program.
Portrait, stars and stripes flag and Mercury capsule entry UPSIDE DOWN.
ATTENTION - this stamp shows a big error. The Mercury spaceship is shown nose down with what looks like fire/plasma tail like an atmospheric re-entry. Hopefully such a catastrophic behavior never hapened! The heat shield is at the bottom of the capsule, the nose is not protected, as pictured the event would be destruction and death of pilot.
