The First man on the Moon is one of the popular stamps in the world issued by the US Post Office to depict the space exploration by the US astronauts. The stamp shows Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on moon taking his first step on the moon on July 16, 1969. The three astronauts Commander Neil A. Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. had landed on the moon in a Apollo 11. The stamp was released on September 8, 1969.
The stamp designed by Paul Calle was the largest in size at that time from USA. Interestingly the stamp was printed from a master die which Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin carried with them to the Moon on the lunar module Eagle.
Later that same day, at 20 seconds after 10:56 p.m. EDT, Armstrong descended a ladder, stepped off the lunar module's footed to the Moon's surface and radioed his famous message: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
