The Cudley Crater Lunar Sea Project
A FAUX POSTAGE PROTOCOMMEMORATIVE
An article submitted by Quantus Qwo
Postmaster General
of The Republic of the Moon
This stamp (being from the future) is not so much a
commemorative stamp as a protocommemorative, perhaps
a new genre to many. It will be issued to celebrate the Republic of
the Moon's return of the seas of the lunar surface into viable
salt water basins. The Loonese are a very positive people and
believe that protocommemoration is the best means of getting
public works projects completed.
salt water basins. The Loonese are a very positive people and
believe that protocommemoration is the best means of getting
public works projects completed.
This all may seem a tad far-fetched to earthlings of
the twenty-first century. But to the Loonese of the
future, protocommemoration of the resalinized
craters of the Moon Park, is a philatelic manifest
destiny, as the Republic of the Moon is not a democracy
so much as a philatelic dynasty, of which they are
most proud.
The hallmark of Loonese culture is their dedication
to the preservation of philatelic artifacts from the earth,
which now are kept in the Lunar Postal Museum in Moonton.
