fut-lnr_v_bw_o_n (ca. 1961, Thiokol Chem Corp photo, neg. no. 30121-4)

Early (ca. 1961) Thiokol Chemical Corporation artist's concept of possibly an Apollo/Nova(?) lunar lander lifting off (per the handwritten annotation on the verso).

I can't really identify the vehicle design, other than it possibly being a direct ascent version of some sort. The appearance/design was most likely irrelevant, since what is being promoted here is Thiokol's capability to provide the motors to make it happen.

 

Has a 1950's sci-fi look...kind of 'Forbidden Planet'-like.
