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.
Walt Disney threw his hat into the ring as well, check out the Walt Disney Treasures Tomorrowland: Disney in Space and Beyond DVD.
I also just ordered the National geographic 123 year DVD collection, -top on the list is to check out all the past “Space” stuff articles…. I won’t be able to sit up in an attic like James Gurneys NG painting, but I’m going to look like the boy and grandfather all wrapped up into one…http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2008/03/attic-scene-in-allentown.html
Thanks so much for writing this article Charlie…. I’m going to be busy reviewing the Horizons Newsletters… Cheers, Mike
