A perfect launch from Cape Kennedy to set foot on the moon

| Decent of Soyuz TMA19M Decent Module, June 2016 |
A safe deployment of parachute and a decent to Earth after six months orbiting our planet on the International Space Station

| Zennor Village with Church of St Sennara and the Tinners Arms |
Back on terra firma on the tip of England in Cornwall. It is said if one wants to find a pub then look for a church tower. St Sennara is a Breton saint and shows the Celtic connection between Cornwall and Brittany.
.At the Postal Museum you can travel underground on Mail Rail, a postal railway which once traversed London through narrow tunnels (1927-2003), today the experience is just for pleasure. The Postal Museum started life in the basement of GPO Headquarters in 1969. It moved in 1998 to Mount Pleasant archives but this card brings us to the present day. A publicity/donation appeal card issued in 2016. The Museum and Mail Rail opened in its present building in 2017.

I like the blue sky above the clouds. And ever since I learned about the postal railway, I've wanted to visit.
I love any postcard related to the space. I got last week one from the Space Museum in Samara, featuring the Soyuz :)
And I imagine the Post Museum more red than blue!
I do remember Apollo 11. I was almost 12 and went outside to look at the moon, trying to grasp that there were people up there on it! The decent module is a pretty card, with the sky, clouds, and the module.
