TRIBUTE PAINTING

Above is another very special painting by Tracey Warren which was commissioned by NASA in 2010 as a very fitting tribute to all of the wonderful people who worked in Australia in collaboration with those in NASA at the Houston, Texas Space Mission Control station to successfully bring home the feared ill-fated Apollo 13 crew from their space mission.

Numerous Australians collaborated with and worked with the Flight control officers in the U.S. to help build and structure early space exploration and space development from the very beginning.

When the Apollo 13 capsule was in trouble - they all worked as a team to bring the astronauts home safely back to earth.

At NASA Mission Control in Houston in Texas, together with the people at Australian NASA headquarters, all of these heroic men and women on staff worked feverishly for 3 days to save the lives if the astronauts lives on board and bring them and the capsule safely back to earth.

There is also a copy of the Apollo 11 and the Apollo 13 limited edition prints hanging in the American Ambassadors to Australia’s Private collection in Sydney, Australia. He was present at the opening of the presentation to the Australian parliament in 2009, as one of many distinguished Australian government officials, M.P.‘s and honoured guests.
