| 1994: World Cup and Swedish Technology on the Moon |
The Swedish Soccer team was about to travel to the USA for the World Cup in 1994 when this FDC was issued. There were 24 teams competing back then unlike next year when the number is doubled. Yikes.
It was also 25 years since the first moon landing. Neil
Armstrong's unforgettable pictures of the moon were made using a Swedish
Hasselblad Data Camera.

I like how you linked all the S on this post :)
Oh, and I love stamps with astronauts!
Beautiful blue stamps! I love the Swiss stamp. I also like how you connected all with the letter S.
The large hexagon containing the other stamps is amazing, and Pegasus is always a favorite
The astronauts! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Nice way to do S for Stars! It was unexpected to see sports stars and space stars on the same envelope.
This shows how it takes the whole world working together to create great things.
