This is the best of the books for great futuristic illustrations of Moon exploration. They chose many of the possible vehicles and habitats.
The vehicle is familiar but I enjoy the moon backdrop.
The planned city seems rather generic rather than moon-based (pun intended)
I do wonder about the underwater laboratory in the moon crater lake. It seems like a lot of water to get to the moon but it would be a shield. It also might be copied from very different futuristic illustrations. But heck anything to get dolphins on the moon!
I don't remember seeing this concept before, using the command module as a base for surveying instruments.
I also enjoy the "square" space station.
These illustrations are wonderful! I'm a little put off with the idea of a nuclear device under the surface of the moon but many of these illustrations offer a glimpse of what we imagined could happen in the near future if NASA and the US government had continued the moon program. Thank you for sharing these.
