NASA. Photography is made up of different genres, marked by the advent of technologies that allow mankind to continue the great History of the image, through the creation of unedited pictures capturing historical human realities for the first time. Here, captured on the eve of its departure from its launch pad, the space shuttle COLUMBIA (Mission STS-58) stands proud and majestic against the brilliant colors of the setting sun. More than just a moment captured for its beauty, this photograph is also a narrative witness to the space architecture of the late 20th century, during which man began to familiarize himself with crossing his sky to reach Earth's orbit, where technology for the first time enabled him to remain for long periods. October 13, 1993. Vintage chromogenic print on paper: "THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK". NASA logo (type VER) and typed caption on back. 20.3 x 25.2 cm with margins.
