I was going to post that but then I saw the autographed photo. I suppose it would depend who is President and who makes decisions on stamp issues. Right now perhaps yes.

I have one of those on a collector’s edition envelope, cancelled on May 5th, 1969, First Day of Issue. The stamp fell off because the glue dried up. It has a nice black and white drawing of Borman, Lovell, and Anders on the front.

I just stuck the stamp inside the envelope.

Here is Jim Lovell's portion of the Apollo 8 Genesis reading:

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Can you see this being issued today?

A: Yes, because there's a Torah principle and Hebrew language verb construction (re surety) rooted in doubling:

Genesis 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

A: Yes, because

the good news is the vision people don't want -- the light shining in the darkness -- and the Apollo missions link right up to the recent death of the Prince of Darkness.

That's because among other things, the "final photograph" 1) was from the "Back to the Beginning" charity concert, 2) showed the doubled name on the amps which is also the name of the place that developed the Saturn V, same as the name of the Plan to rebuild Western Civilization. That was simply its name, regardless of what it did or didn't do. Love it or hate it,

the Marshall Plan has been described as "the launching of the Pax Americana" (Link)

(Final concert photo and street view of the DC* posted here yesterday)

MSFC's welcome center is also the place of the *Davidson Center, the house built for the Saturn V dynamic test vehicle. .

Location: Huntsville. Zip code 35805. It's even been shot at.

The .308 Winchester is considered a standard hunting cartridge in the United States. (Wikipedia)

"On May 3, 2012, an unknown person fired three .308 caliber bullets from Interstate 565 at the Davidson Center, breaking three windows. Two bullets struck SA-500D's third stage marring paint and leaving dents. No people were harmed.[48][49][50] The damage was repaired within two months.[51]"



SA-500D hangs in the main hall of the Davidson Center for Space Exploration, 2008

Here's a nice touch to cap this off:

The stamp is Scott No. 1371, and as per the shape of the Earth immortalized by Earthrise, the place of a skull (first 2 refs)--

"Κρανίου Τόπος" = 1371
