The Art of NASA
The Illustrations That Sold the Missions
Bizony, Piers
First Edition
Since the creation of NASA in 1958, the space agency has relied on the talents of artists to depict future missions and the possibilities of space exploration. The compelling Images that resulted showed the public and the politicians what the nation might gain through its space program. Sometimes the dreams became real. NASA's grandest projects - Mercury, Gemini, the Apollo lunar adventure, the Shuttle, and robotic missions to the planets - all started with careful planning but also with stunning works of art. Other times the dreams were abandoned or evolved. Selected from the archives of NASA and its principal contractors, the constellation of glorious artworks presented here provide a rare and unusual view of the history of American space exploration.
