STS-51-L & STS-107 is a set of two image collages from NASA’s archive of space shuttles. Images of the two fatal flights, STS-51-L and STS-107, are placed at the top with successful missions below and transform the failed mission into surreal launches. Although space shuttles have been destroyed and the astronauts on board have been lost, we will always keep looking up at the universe.
