STSprog_v_c_o_TPMBK (ca. 1974 unnumbered Rockwell Int'l photo, OMS burn)
Circa 1974 Rockwell International artist’s concept depicting an orbit insertion/circularization burn of the Space Shuttle’s Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines.
Occasionally/more ‘commonly’ seen as a lithograph. Of course, I can’t find an example in order to provide a Rockwell ‘party line’ caption.
Beautiful artwork by Rockwell International artist supreme, Manuel E. Alvarez.
A mocking/taunting 月亮 can be seen, still out of reach, in the distantly distant distance.
A cropped version of the image, with subtle differences in the markings on the spacecraft, is featured on the cover of the 1988 book “SPACE SHUTTLE”, written by David Baker.
Speaking of out of reach, the U.S. is firmly in the process of losing the “high-ground”…if it hasn’t lost it already:

And check this out, this enterprising SOB has gone apeshit with a bunch of photos I’ve posted and/or linked to in my postings:
