Original – Hsue-shen Tsien with his family onboard SS President Cleveland
Reason
good quality, good EV. It's a photo of Hsue-shen Tsien, who was suspected to be a communist in 1950, was under house arrest for 5 years, and then was deported to China. In the US he was a PhD student and a colleague of Theodore von Karman, and is often mentioned as one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Lab. In China he became a father of satellite and missile programs, and eventually of the whole Chinese space program. This photo was made on a ship when he and his family was deported in exchange for American soldiers captured during the Korean war.
