Cover Highlights First Tourist in Space
This Colorano Silk Cover commemorates the arrival of wealthy American Dennis Tito at the International Space Station. The Statue of Liberty stamp is tied to the cover with a Houston, Texas, postmark. NASA's Johnson Space Center is located in this city.
Tito paid $20 million to fly in a Russian space capsule to the International Space Center (ISS). He spent six days aboard the station, becoming the first tourist in space. Having a untrained civilian in space caused international tension, but the Russians maintained his trip had helped pay a portion of their contribution to the ISS.
