NASA Space Colony Art from the 1970s
Space and Astronomical Art Journal: NASA Space Colony Art
In the 1970's Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill with the help of NASA
Ames Research Center and Stanford University showed that we can build
giant orbiting spaceships and live in them. A couple of space colony
summer studies were conducted at NASA Ames in the 1970s. Colonies
housing about 10,000 people were designed. A number of artistic
renderings of the concepts were made. These have been converted to
jpegs and are available as thumbnails, quarter page, full screen and
publication quality images.
Great cylindrical utopias. At some times these might have seemed
remotely feasible...
