Just imagine standing so close to the STS at launch time!

Yeah, I know there's a little bit of an optical illusion and the guy isn't really standing next to the rocket, but even so it's
extremely close.

Photography 101:
Undoubtedly that photo was taken with a telephoto lens. Using such
lenses compresses distance and causes the illusion of short distance
between objects.
The person in the photo is actually very far away from the rocket.
