1970 'Mars Base' (“Retro Space HD” FB download)
Striking 1970 NASA/MSFC artist’s depiction of a “Mars Base”.
I presume as part of NASA’s grand Integrated Program Plan (IPP). Good regarding the IPP:

Although of a different writing style, i.e., block letters, the artist’s signature, “L A Smith”, must surely be Lois Virginia Archambeault Smith. I mean, how many “L. A. Smith” NASA/MSFC artists could there have been in 1970? Another WIN WRT Ms. Smith!
With sincerest appreciation to J. L. Pickering for making the image available. And, if you want to see but a mere fraction of the world’s preeminent collection of space photographs, I HIGHLY advise you to explore Mr. Pickering’s FB presence. Prepare to be blown away:
