Color satin-finish 11 x 14 photo of the dramatic launch of the STS-3 Columbia mission, signed in black felt tip, “Jack Lousma, Cmdr., STS-3 (Columbia), March 22-30, 1982.," who adds below, "Launch to orbit is among the most risky adventures of spaceflight. But ‘WOW,’ what a view when we get there! Ninety minutes around the ‘good earth’ with 16 sunrises and sunsets every day. By day, we see cities, freeways, airports, and colors; blue oceans, white clouds and snow, farmers’ fields, and painted deserts. At night, we see myriads of stars, auroras, and city lights. We never tire of looking out of the window. We reluctantly return with a new perspective.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by a photo of Lousma at the time of signing.
