EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in space exploration as it showcases the crew of the space shuttle mission STS-7. Taken at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas on May 24th, 1983, this group portrait features four out of the five astronauts who embarked on this groundbreaking mission. From left to right, we see Commander Robert Crippen, mission specialist John Fabien, mission specialist Sally Ride - who made history as the first American woman in space - and pilot Frederick Hauck. The STS-7 mission was launched on June 18th, 1983 aboard the iconic Space Shuttle Challenger. This significant journey involved deploying two communication satellites and conducting various experiments that pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. The fifth astronaut onboard was Norman Thagard. With its rich historical context and representation of pioneering individuals from diverse scientific backgrounds, this photograph symbolizes not only a remarkable milestone for American space exploration but also serves as a testament to human determination and ingenuity. As we gaze upon these courageous men and women who ventured beyond our planet's atmosphere during an era when such feats were still relatively new to humanity, we are reminded of their extraordinary contributions to our understanding of outer space.
