A wonderfully creative perspective of a Saturn V launch, before such ever occurred. That determination based on the similarity of the paint scheme to that of the SA-500F Facilities Verification Vehicle. Thus, also the date approximation.

 

Another extremely talented & enigmatic NASA artist, who, posthumously, ONLY because of the method of his ‘burial’ has a marker of his legacy, both personally & professionally. A little vexingly, one of the artists that modified his signature over time, from block letters/informal first name, to cursive/full first name. To me, sort of contradictory combinations & kind of clever. If they’re even the same person that is.

 

Rest in Peace Good Sir:
