This photo of the launch of STS-1 was taken by Camera E207 at about a minute into the flight on April 12, 1981. It was about the time of maximum dynamic pressure (max-q) on the vehicle.

Beautiful shot. A future full of promises which fell short. Thanks for sharing.

Still having a hard time believing that those SSME will be thrown into the ocean with Artemis.
