Space Shuttle Photo

Post by BAC »

These photos, 30 years apart, went viral on the internet. The father and son were at the first shuttle launch when they took the first picture and re-staged it for the last launch. If you look at the first picture it looks like he filmed the first launch on Super 8. Anyone know what camera he was using?

Man, that is cool.

Camera looks like a Sankyo Supertronic--not sure which of the models.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting - I enjoyed this!

I remember watching the first flight on TV.

Shame he couldn't have re staged with a super 8 camera....

I think the shirt would be a little snug. :lol:

I would like to see his super 8 footage of the launch.
