  • (Space) The Solar System, Hammond, c. 1966
    With a moon landing still years off, there was already an uncontained enthusiasm that bloomed into imaginary vehicles that would take humans to Mars. Made not long after Mariner 4 sent back early images of Mars surface, this graphic also mentions the fly by of Venus and the potential of "Deep Space Tracking" that could keep contact with missions like the Mariner mission. Shows the relative gravity of different planets, and gives some idealized views from other planetary surfaces. Condition is good with some minimal soiling near the title. Image size is approximately 18.25 x 24.25 (inches)
