Father and Son: STS-1 and STS-135

Flickr user Chris Bray and his father attended the first shuttle launch 30 years ago. According to an interview with Universe Today, they had not been to another launch since, but decided to "bookend" the program by going to the final launch — and re-creating a photo taken at the first launch.
