Description
During the '50, before President Kennedy committed the United States to a Moon landing, scientists like Wernher von Braun and illustrators like Chesley Bonestell, envisioned all the vehicles to complete such mission.

That is one heck of a drop there a long ladder I must say. Nice work on the terrain too.

seen a pic like this several years back; pretty much the same ship, but a LOT more engines (like it would matter..;) great work.

You done an excellent job of capturing Bonestell's style ! I feel like I just stepped back into the 50's, great tribute Luca ! ~Cheers~

I remember seeing Bonestell's work when I was a kid back in the 50's. This brings back a lot of memories.

I saw the articles in my local library. They were on microfilm and grainy, but they were great! Your tribute to Bonestell is very well done.

I like! Very retro! I read a stroy, way back in grade-school, before they actual landed on the Moon. It had NASA shiping up a Lunar base in segments and hard impacting. Had kind of a "Army Corp." feel to it.

You've really captured Bonstell's stark simplicity and use of primaries. An excellent homage.
