The image encapsulates a historic event that took place on 2nd December 1993, as a seven-person international crew embarked on an eleven-day mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. The photograph showcases the sheer power and magnitude of human achievement as flames engulf the shuttle's engines, propelling it towards outer space. The vertical composition emphasizes both the height and grandeur of this extraordinary feat.
