Pictorial survey of proposed American lunar exploration vehicles from 1938 to 1972 — landers, rovers, “hoppers,” and flying platforms — pairing historical concept art with Godwin’s own 3D reconstructions of more than 200 designs. Godwin frames it in his introduction not as a formal history but as “a fanciful attempt at presenting many extraordinary, and often extremely rare ideas, in one place.”
