“SPACE FLIGHT EVOLUTION ---- From Mercury program ‘til ???? This Rockwell International artist’s concept depicts the evolution of manned space flight from Alan B. Shepard’s MR-3 mission through the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and extends into the near and distant future.”

A gorgeous work, good enough to be displayed in the lobby of the LCC at KSC at some point – I have no idea for how long – because it’s basically unacknowledged. And good enough to merit this photo, YET absolutely NO mention of the artist. WRONG ANSWER.
The man is Ted Brown, and although not employed directly by NASA, his prolific phenomenal works were sure as hell featured like crazy to promote a butt load of conceptual Mars exploration & space station shit, let alone the shuttle. IMHO, an egregious & likely intentional omission.
Oh yeah, it’s signed by Walter M. Schirra Jr.

A resounding confirmation of my above griping. Mind you, this is at THE "Holy Grail" of space websites:
