fut-Mars+_v_bw_o_n (ca. 1961-64, poss. Boeing Co. photo, no. P36674)
An unknown contractor's & unknown artist’s concept, ca. 1961-64, of an Early Manned Planetary-Interplanetary Roundtrip Expedition (EMPIRE) vehicle IVO Mars.
The similarity of the vehicle and its perspective, to a similar color image (which I thought I’d linked to, but apparently NOT) originally led me to consider this to be a Convair-General Dynamics Astronautics concept. If so, possibly by the hand of John Sentovic. However, those are not Sentovic stars and the alphanumeric photo ID is representative of Boeing Co. origin. I think. Maybe. Whatever…right?
