Default Richard Hoagland commemorated - sort of

While browsing an online dealer's pages hoping to update my spotty collection of space stamps, I was struck to see a stamp commemorating Richard Hoagland! This is from Antigua and Barbuda, noted for augmenting their postal revenue by producing stamps intended more for worldwide collectors than for postal use. This doesn't bother me too much once I see that it's part of "A Philatelic Look at Science Fiction", except that he appears in the company of Arthur C. Clarke on a companion issue. Image attached per my understanding of copyright law which allows reproduction of postage stamps in formats which cannot be mistaken for the original...
