"Vision for Space Exploration"... 1980s style

[dreada5]

Came across the following website recently. It contains a rich catalog of very detailed slides/artwork I personally have never seen before of the "future in space" as seen back in the 1980s... and I thought I'd seen a lot, lol!<br /><br />Yep, pretty cool if you haven't seen it before! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />http://www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/Station/Slides/index.htm

There are some amazing, preliminary designs for ISS such that it could support Lunar and Mars missions (not sure if this was a Boeing design - slide 49d).<br /><br />

Go back to the 1970s...thats an eye opener as well. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen...and those who do not know what happened.</em></p> </div>
