Nixon and the Space Shuttle. NASA Administrator James C. Fletcher (left,1919-1991) discussing a model of the Space Shuttle with US President Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994). Later that day,the President announced the beginning of the Space Shuttle programme. The model seen here,although differing in some design points,has the same general layout as what was built: a central fuel tank,two solid rocket boosters and the Shuttle itself 'riding' the tank. The five Space Shuttles flew 135 missions between 1981 and 2011. Photographed on 5 January 1972,in San Clemente,California,USA | |
