NASA record: freshest stamp ever
A record that is sharpened every second and that actually can never be broken.
It is a stamp of 29 cents from 1991. This is dedicated to the dwarf planet Pluto. The stamp went as luggage with the probe New Horizons, which began in January 2006 on a flight to Pluto. There he flew past after a journey of more than 5 billion kilometers in July 2015.
The probe and the stamp on board are already 441 million kilometers beyond Pluto. With a speed of over 14 kilometers per second, they fly to rocks on the edge of our solar system. And while New Horizons flies by, the record remains becoming a little more firmly in the hands of NASA.
