“SPACE STATIONS AS TRAINING . . .”

 

…of/for what? Rock climbing? Repelling? Extravehicular Activity between spacecraft? Disabling Soviet spacecraft in orbit? 👍

 

Was there another companion work associated with this? To complete the caption? Or, was it a stand-alone work intended to spur the imagination, stir speculation, what?

 

I don’t even understand the combination of craft. By 1968, if the stamped date is correct, I think MORL was dead. And neither here nor there, but it looks more like MOL to me. Is this intended to represent an evolution of living and working in earth orbit? I’m really not tracking on this.

 

Who cares. What really matters is that it’s by John Gorsuch, therefore 👍👍👍.
