"Last Launch comprises some sixty photos of the last 3 U.S. space shuttle missions by acclaimed photographer Dan Winters. In a brief personal piece Winters writes about seeing the first space launch on television with his parents, his ongoing love-affair with the space program over the decades, and his feelings as it is discontinued. An essay by American film director, screenwriter and producer Al Reinert puts the photographs and the program in historical perspective. This book is a technically brilliant and culturally important collection of photographs by an artist who was one of a handful of photographers given behind the scenes access to the U. S. space shuttle program"-- Provided by publisher.
