Large-format collection of more than fifty McCall space paintings — the artist NASA commissioned for its own Apollo-era commemorative stamp and whose work hangs in the Smithsonian — paired with an Asimov text that moves outward by stages: the Moon, the rocket that gets there, a lunar colony, Mars, then Ceres and Jupiter, and finally the stars, speculating on a solar system essentially colonized by 2200 A.D.
Foreword by Apollo 11’s Buzz Aldrin. The metallic foil dust jacket is characteristic of McCall’s space-art books of the period and prone to creasing, as here.
