Father and Son at First and Last Shuttle Launch

Chris Bray and father Kenneth attended the first Space Shuttle launch thirty years ago (left) and have now attended the last Shuttle launch four days ago (right). Funnily enough, even though they seem like superfans, the first and last launch were the only two they attended, deciding to bookend the Shuttle program by managing to attend the last launch. We generally enjoy the “Young Me Now Me” meme, but there’s something special about the Bray duo’s attempt, in that it represents the somber end to the Shuttle program.
