It’s All About the Stamp!
Humans like to collect things. It seems to be in our nature. When I was a kid I collected Matchbox® cars, and I think I still have them somewhere, but these days I collect something that takes up very little space. I collect stamps. No, not that kind of stamp.

“When astronauts return from their first landing on the moon and report their findings, will they describe the sort of terrain that you see here at Craters of the Moon National Monument?” These words from the 1961 version of the National Park Service brochure introduce the reader to an alien landscape, one I was to revisit after over 50 years.
