04/17/2023 :  Finger crossed for Starship / SuperHeavy : please do NOT blow up the pad ! Scrub! A frozen pressurizing valve, try again tomorrow !

09/08/2022 : 
Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ;
Thank you for bringing to the world the smile, color, consistency, stability, reliability and playfulness that we needed.
Let’s hope that spark of benevolence continues to shine in your absence.
Thank you.

07/26/2022 :  The theme meteo : It is meteorology, but also weather forecasts, soil analysis (Spot image) the study of climate and climate change, but also Solar winds and atmospheric studies (balloons, satellites).

08/31/2021 :  Mr. Etienne writing about the commemorative covers we create together :
"We continue to carry the tradition of creating, designing and producing philatelic materials that continue documenting man’s continued exploration of space and technological advancement. I do agree it may not be very profitable, but historically we are leading the way for items that will be enjoyed and collected for generations to come."

12/31/2020 : 

I am confident you will start 2021 with a stronger mind, equipped to face situations better and an ability to adapt and find joy pride and pleasure in simpler things.
Happy New Year !

12/24/2020 :  - The Album Bindings we are waiting for will be available by the end of January 2021.
- we are late in the processing of orders, and we receive letters late too : we will grant the 20% discount to all orders where cancellation date is until December 20, 2020.
- We wish you a Merry Christmas !
- We ask you to be extremely cautious because this time of year (Sun hours), travels and household gatherings, all combine for peak virus transmission and worst outcomes. => if you can delay gatherings for April/May, that would be a better plan!

03/18/2020 :  Espace Lollini continues to operate during the pandemic, as long as the French postal services are operating, and I can access my workplace. Orders are shipped as usual.

I respect the rules of hygiene and distance to the best of my abilities.

I would like to send you a message of support: Our grandparents have had to face wars, restrictions, evacuations…
Today it’s just a question of hygiene, caution, and ... staying at home. It shouldn’t be difficult.

Please respect the sanitary regulations and the reinforced hygiene. The action of each person is essential in order to relieve health systems.

Stay calm and patient, this situation can last longer, 60, 90 days who knows?

This is the perfect time to meditate, and open a stamps album.

Perhaps this event will allow human beings to realize the vulnerabilities of an overly liberal globalized system. The systematic abuse of international dependencies for both industry and predatory tourism makes localities, communities, groups of people powerless and incapable of self-sufficiency.

Whether to be prepared for the next pandemics, or to create a new system of civilization compatible with our habitat on Earth: we must radically change.

The root of all these problems lies in each of us. We resist inevitable and mandatory changes. We always want more, and the result of all this is that we put our individual freedom BEFORE the freedom of the world.

Our individual freedoms are ransacking our habitat on Earth.
Our individual freedoms imprison future communities in a shrinking box.

The freedom of one stops or begins that of the other, thus, and in order to allow the future of the world to be free and at peace, we must constrain ourselves.

You are a drop in the ocean, but the ocean requires all the drops to exist. We must act.

Humans are not separated from nature: we are nature.
One human feels the pain of the other, don’t you feel that the survival systems offered by your spacecraft, Earth, are being murdered?

Vocabulary:
Covid-19: Co = corona = crown, vi = virus, and d = disease.
SARS-CoV-2 = virus responsible for Covid-19 disease.

SARS = SARS Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(2003 epidemic)

SARS (SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 are two different viruses from the coronavirus family.
coronaviruses are so named because under a microscope we see a crown.
coronaviruses are viruses of which the common cold is a part, in humans they are generally respiratory diseases.

The coronaviruses are destroyed by water + SOAP in 20 to 30 seconds: the soap tears the lipid crown of the virus.

There is no treatment for coronaviruses, the patient’s immune system adapts, and fights the virus. Antibiotics are only useful against bacteria, they are useless against the coronavirus.

Wash your hands, and consider cleaning your smartphones and keyboards.
Stay away from other people.

09/16/2017 :  Cassini, Farewell. This needed moment of transition opens thinking to next steps. Ingenuity replaced fuel, space navigation using gravity of moons the same that were just discovered.

Those are 3 potential worlds that might allow the existence of life, either native, or imported. The more we search, the more Space uncover amazing things that are more beautiful, better, bigger, more frequent than expected. What an exciting time for science !

01/27/2017 :  We have added the keyword I.G.Y. "International Geophysical Year" French: Année géophysique internationale or A.G.I. For all the stamps about the event in 1957-58; and also later stamps featuring the logo. Our polar album title is "Pôles et AGI"

We push to convert subrcribers from Letter to eMail and so whe reduced by 70% the printed Space Revue quantity. And yourself, what do you do ?

New Horizons is in final approach for closest enconter scheduled July 14. This face of Pluto will not be seen with higher resolution, however the opposite face featuring the dark "whale tail" and the "heart" shaped bright area, will be seen with much greater detail. The picture shown here is a montage I have sharpened and brung Pluto and Charon closer together and added a flat color to Pluto. Multispectral picture will be far more interesting, but for the moment that is the best we can do.

The event list. - | - Rosetta covers.

08/06/2014 :  Rosetta meets Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Until this great first, all encouters with asteroids or comets by man made probes were of short duration. This time Rosetta will not only stay with the comet more than a year, but also follow tail formation while closing in with the Sun and there is more! Rosetta will drop Philæ, wich will attempt to touch, or land on the comet surface.

08/05/2014 :  Inmarsat & MH370 Study of data and meta-data of Inmarsat-3 F1 satellite, and thanks to ingeniosity of researchers, it was possible to pinpoint the last hours of flight of Malaysian MH370, then to determine probable location of the aircraft wreck. New search will start in August 2014 thanks to this. The flight recorders may help solving mystery of this dramatic event. One Hypothesis seem to fit most of the facts : cabin lost pressurization, all crew loosing consciousness, an unqualifier person trying all buttons in the cockpit, then flight continuing on autopilot until end of fuel.

07/07/2014 :  Atom and Physicist
Study of the fabric that makes our Universe. Here is a collection that brings you both the infinite big and the infinite small.

Those who accept the risks of trial and error. Those who want to understand everything. This is the collection of those who beleive in the best part in us.
