“NASA/Shuttle: Space Shuttle August 1972”
A very nicely presented work by prolific & talented North American Rockwell/Rockwell International artist, Manuel E. Alvarez…depicting the evolution of the ‘vehicles’ of exploration & discovery, at the time culminated by the Space Shuttle. Which, coincidentally, was to be manufactured by his employer. 😉
I don’t know my sailing ships, but I think that’s one of Christopher Columbus’. From what I’ve seen, the Mayflower seemed to have a more complex sail configuration.
And I think the shuttle is deploying the ever-popular (from the time), “planetary probe”. Although, upon closer examination, maybe an asteroid grappling hook?
