STAMP COLLECTING MONTH<br />
Miniature sheet at 80% actual size<br />
In the year 2000 <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> invites <strong>stamp</strong><br />
collectors young and old to join us on a flight<br />
of fancy as we imagine what life might look like<br />
for humans living beyond the final frontier. The<br />
theme for <strong>stamp</strong> collecting month is space and<br />
our <strong>stamp</strong>s present a fantastic view of life on<br />
Mars in the not too distant future.<br />
Rather than portraying the vast empty<br />
regions of space or showing a fraction of the<br />
multitude of objects that exist in our universe,<br />
the design approach was to show the human<br />
face of space exploration. The issue depicts a<br />
fantasy, grounded in reality, portraying a<br />
human outpost on Mars.<br />
There are six <strong>stamp</strong>s in this issue. The two<br />
large <strong>stamp</strong>s are Launch site and Spacecraft.<br />
The two commemorative sized <strong>stamp</strong>s are<br />
Astronaut and Terrain; and the two small <strong>stamp</strong>s<br />
are Flight crew and Robots. Each <strong>stamp</strong> features<br />
a dominant object related to the settlement.<br />
