a_v_bw_o_n (CM reentry, verso hand annotated K581)
Dramatic artist's/artists' concept of an early CM design (ca. 1962), depicting reentry. Meticulous artwork. However, this one doesn’t do it for me. The perspective of the Command Module doesn’t look quite right. The heatshield should have a more oval/flattened appearance, based on the perspective depicted. And the chunks breaking off look too bloppy, i.,e., slow.
We’re talking 20,000 + mph. They should be whizzing by as more linear streaking blops! ;-)
Although unsigned, based on the others in this 'series', it certainly looks to be the conscientious & detailed work of Ludwik Źiemba, et al.
