This is a wonderful early space book based on the 1955 Disneyland episode "Man and the Moon" (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_and_the_Moon)
What most people don't realize is that within this book is a series of detailed paintings of the construction of a space station that were not seen in the episode.
So here is Wernher von Braun's detailed plans (as interpreted by Disney artists) for how to construct a space station:
Unpacking the components---
Inflating the core---
More pieces- see how they are marked?
Assembly and carrying in place---
You can now see the shape of the station forming---
Finishing work---
Attaching the propellant to "spin" it up---
Applying protective armor over the inflated portions---
And you have one beautiful completed space station. Some of these paintings are reproduced small in the book but the sequence is fantastic in showing how it could be done.
