fut_v_c_o_TPMBK (ca. 1980+, verso hand-annotated 5767-A, SR229 10-80)

“Mars colony of the future SR229 (October 1980)”

 

I’m assuming Rockwell International as the originator, the artist being the talented, previously elusive, enigmatic, mysterious & chameleon-like (due to his/her signature change/evolution: all caps/block —> mixed case/cursive), Manuel E. Alvarez.

 

Despite there being plenty of [fill in the heavenly body] circular, concentric, spoked, radial…base, colony, habitat, depot, city, etc. concepts available online - I could not find the image anywhere.

Neither could I find anything on “SR229”.

Nor whatever (if anything?) was possibly convened in October of 1980…conference, symposium, workshop, etc. Nor any evidence of some relevant/pertinent documentation published that month.

And, varied/multiple combinations of the aforementioned ‘key words’ yielded nothing.

Pretty frustrating, and the recurring feeling of “I know I’ve seen this...somewhere”.
