The Astroid Day, an initiative that tries to raise awareness of the dangers that could have the impact of a large astroid on the earth and to promote the countermeasures to be taken, produced on June 29 a live television broadcast transmitted in the whole world from the studios of RTL / BCE. POST Philately has for this occasion issued a special meng.post stamp. This gesture, which was greatly appreciated by the organizers and the participants, was the subject of an interview with Emile Espen, Head of POST Philately, during which he was able to give information on the choices that led to the selected visual.
