Thirty years ago Chris Bray, the younger of the two men in the shots above, snapped a photo of him and his dad at the initial launch of the STS-1/Columbia.

We’re not sure what we find more impressive: Bray’s dedication to capturing an image that bookends this era of the space program so nicely, or the fact that his cotton shirt seems to have held up so well over the years.
