I’ve written new article for Tor.com titled “How Concept Art Helped Sell the U.S. Space Program“.
In it, I of course explain what I mean by the title, showcase some terrific space art by Chesley Bonestell, Fred Freeman and Rolf Klep, and link to a source for more.
You can see my previous articles for Tor.com here.
