"U.S. Space Hardware-- Today and Tomorrow" (1963)

This is a follow-up of sorts to one of my most popular posts of 2010:

The "Space Age 1959" poster: http://dreamsofspace.blogspot.com/2010/05/space-age-1959.html


 The full poster artwork was re-used in this 1963 article:

Dickenson, Fred. "U.S. Space Hardware ---Today and Tomorrow". New York Mirror Magazine, April 28, 1963 pp 9-10.

Since so many people enjoyed the poster this gave me a chance to have a slightly better scan of the art for you since the poster itself won't fit on my scanner :)

The article is interesting in how it justfies some of the vehicles depicted as a true reflection of possible future spaceflight. It also goes on to add some of the current spaceflight gadgets and ships that were being worked at the time.

So here is the higher quality scan (not quite the whole thing) but good enough to use as a background.
