The Art of NASA presents 60 years of American space exploration from space suits to capsules, from landing modules to the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and more recent concepts for space planes. Early missions such as Gemini, Mercury, and Apollo, are represented in detail, as well as post-Space Race accomplishments, like the mission to Mars and other deep-space explorations.
The incredibly rare early Apollo illustrations show how Apollo might have looked if the landing module had never been developed. Every picture in The Art of NASA tells a special story and takes a deep look at the art of illustration, the development of now-familiar technologies, and a glimpse of what the space program might have looked like.
