Interesting "blast from the past"

[doublehelix]

<p>At home I have a 1963 World Atlas.&nbsp; In it, there is a whole section about "when we go to the moon". Fascinating.&nbsp; I will try to post some of it - it's very cool to read history's version of what was to be expected at the time and in the future.&nbsp; Too bad I don't have a scanner - the pictures are priceless!</p><p>-dh&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#3366ff">doublehelix, Community Manager<br />Imaginova </font></p> </div>

There is a picture that shows what the astronauts would eat/drink on a mission.&nbsp; There are tubes/bars of something simply called "MILK". </p><p>It's curious to see the past predictions alongside current reality.&nbsp; A little surreal, you know?</p><p>-dh&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#3366ff">doublehelix, Community Manager<br />Imaginova </font></p> </div>
