The Greatest Leap, Episode 3: The Triumph of Apollo 11
- 6 years ago
"Launch Complex 39A is where Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins left for the Moon on Apollo 11. Its where the Shuttle program began, with STS-1 in 1981, and ended with STS-135 in 2011. This is hallowed ground for us space nerds and rocket chasers.
In this regard, I believe 39A provides the greatest challenge for photographers. So much has happened here. Just look at the precedent NASA sets (below, for instance). There are countless, timeless photos of the Apollo and Shuttle programs from 39A. It makes documenting the new era of American spaceflight a daunting task"
