Why should be this image a NASA work? The German astronauts stand in front of an antenna from the DLR probably in Cologne, Germany. The source book "Women in Space Following Valentina" is from David J. Shayler and Ian A. Moule, historians from the United Kingdom and is © Copyright, 2005 Praxis Publishing Ltd.

- While there are likely arguments for deletion, this is a completely ridiculous one. The photo is described in the illustration page of the book as the team selection photo: those are official photos taken by NASA, like official portraits. The book was used as the immediate source, rather than other instances of the photo, because of the context provided in it. To suggest that because the book used as the immediate source was published in the UK in 2005 means that a photo clearly taken in a different country decades before might not be those things is like saying because a photo from two years ago is in someone’s passport they might have been born only two years ago. In both cases the immediate source itself tells you that is ridiculous - passports give birth dates, the book describes the photo. You can’t say “better safe than sorry, an old photo might be from 2005 because I didn’t bother reading the source”. Kingsif (talk) 13:50, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Kept: per page xxii in the linked book: "unless otherwise stated, all photographs are from the author's collection or courtesy NASA. --P 1 9 9 ✉ 00:06, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
