“PIONEER 11 COURSE TOWARD INTERSTELLAR SPACE”
Probably the most beautiful, creative & striking version 😉 out of hundreds, if not thousands, depicting Pioneer 11’s historic mission and path to infinity…and beyond.
It being an Ames Research Center image, from 1974, of a Pioneer-Jupiter spacecraft, with dynamic ‘space’, I gotta go with Rick Guidice.
Despite the rendering, I'm pretty sure the spacecraft didn't fly between Saturn and its rings. Note also the outline of an unpainted deflection arrow at/behind "SPACE".
“INTERSTELLER”, UGH.
