1981, Shuttlecraft, Oil on canvas, 49cm*53cm |
On April 12,1981 Colombia, the first
Shuttlecraft, went into space and opened a new epoch to worldwide
space travel.
The above picture serves as an eye witness to depict the
significance of this great event. On November 3, 1957 a
dog, Laika, was the first living creature which was flown into
space. Naturally, it needed to be included in the representation
of something so historically significant.
