FIRST MEN TO THE MOON (1960)

December 8, 2010 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

In 1960, Wernher von Braun published a fictional book based on an astronaut of the future bound to the Moon, depicting a time when space travel would be commonplace.

Technical expertise, training and beautful illustrations / diagrams by Fred Freeman:

It is a shame that it doesn’t seem to exist a single website dedicated to Fred Freeman works. Not even a Wiki article, for god’s sake!
The only I could find are some illustrations here and there:
Collier’s Space Flight Series
The incredible Fred Fremann
Artnet article

The book via the always amazing: Paleofuture. Keep reading it for further illustrations by the same author.
