The stamp first came out at 34 cents, the prevailing first class rate at the time. It has been reissued several times whenever that rate increased.
Of course that is ok, why wouldn't it be? The post office issues commemorative stamps for many different cultural things (including Toy Story 3 ) That has nothing to do with having NASA become a cultural fellowship mission.
