"Peaceful Use of outer Space" leads the
way for the people of the world to see how peaceful co-existence can be
achieved. Outer Space has also become a focus as one of the United Nation's
five global commons, which belong equally to all mankind.
Space. Outer space is simply
the space beyond the atmosphere of the Earth. Most of outer space is emptiness,
but there are areas where matter and energy have gathered--forming galaxies and
solar systems.
Outer space is the largest global commons. In 1967,
the United Nations declared outer space "the common province of
Mankind." Therefore, information gained from weather observation
satellites is shared by many countries, and communication satellites can be
used to 'beam' television programs around the world. In addition, countries
that are able to launch rockets into space are cooperating in order to learn
better how to live and work in outer space. For example, thirteen nations are
engaged in building an International Space Station. Merja sent me this very
nice FDC. The stamps were issued By The UN on 14th March 1975 and
postmarked at New York.
