Verso Text: Fifty years ago, Project Mercury set the United States on a path that would lead to the stunning Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969, the crowning technological achievement of the 20th century.

Initiated in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Project Mercury was the nation's program to send a manned spacecraft into orbit around the Earth. On May 5, 1961, as the world watched on television, NASA astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space after blasting off from Cape Canaveral.

Although Shepard did not orbit the Earth that day, his 15-minute, 300-mile flight "roused the country to one of its highest peaks of exultation since the end of World War II," reported the New York Times. Emboldened by the achievement, President John F. Kennedy declared later that month that America "should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

In March 2011, America achieved another milestone in its 50 years of space exploration. In an unprecedented scientific investigation of the planet closest to the sun, NASA's unmanned MESSENGER, launched on August 3, 2004, became the first spacecraft to enter into orbit around Mercury.

Scientists have conceived the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) mission to investigate several important features of "the least-studied terrestrial planet" in our solar system, including Mercury's geologic history, the nature of its magnetic field, the structure of its metal-rich core, and the unusual materials, possibly ice, at its poles.

The data obtained by MESSENGER during the year-long orbit will be analyzed for many years to come. Scientists think the data may tell us how the planet took shape and also offer clues about the origin of our solar system.

Decorative metal-tipped portal with a sitting peacock and mounted trumpeter. The half-open portal with the two other symbols evoke a "way to fame." The coupon in the right-hand border is decorated with an architectural detail; the other 11 coupons designed for the day of issue bear a motif based on the stamp artwork. Originally issued in 2005 with a CZK 7.50 face value, the stamp is now coming with redesigned colours and face value replaced with a letter.

A stamp identified with the letter A corresponding to the price of Ordinary Letter - Standard up to 50 g in domestic service (current price according to the Price List of Basic Postal Services: CZK 10).



Figures from a popular TV series of bedtime stories for children - the tinkers Pat and Mat in their brotherly embrace. Pat and Mat first appeared in 1976 in the film "Tinkers." The couple changed a T-shirt and donned a beret and bobble hat for the next "Pat&Mat... and that's it" series. Designed as adult entertainment, the buddies have successfully used their charm and tricks to please all generations. However, they had to wait until 1989 to get their names. Mat was also allowed to dress his red T-shirt again to mark the occasion. The key inspiration for their stories is the extreme clumsiness of the two. But fun is not all - what matters is the optimistic attitude of Pat and Mat towards life. They never give up, even if everything is lost, and are always proud of their own solution. Both stars were continuously shining until 1995. The new millennium brought Pat and Mat back to the stage with their new stories.
