Ah, the 60s and 70s, when we had two things we don't have now. Those being hope and well-funded space programs.

This book is next to Cobb's "Colorvision" on the shelf in my studio. Can't be beat.

If I recall correctly, NASA contacted this guy and asked him about what he knew that they didn't.

Is this the guy that did the concept art for the original dune movie?
ashleypomeroy
That was Chris Foss. There's a book - Parallel Lines, by Foss and Peter Elson - that has some of his concept art.
robotsanta77

Wonder if this image
had any influence on the Leviathan ships from the Alien franchises.
ashleypomeroy
It was copied by a highbrow artist many years later (search "glenn brown"): http://www.khantazi.org/Rec/TTABooks/TTABooks.html

Chris Foss and Dan O'Bannon worked on Jodowrosky's Dune, which has been an inspiration for many SF movies (Alien, Star Wars and such).
TheBlueMuppet
Iirc, its one of the unexplained objects, and is only part of an organic ship no ones ever seen. Maybe, though Alien was 4 years old by 78.
realcrystaloftruth
Alien was 1979
TheBlueMuppet
My bad! I was thinking of something else, youre right.
EvolveCT9A
That's how people thought we will be living in 2018, yep, pretty accurate
realcrystaloftruth
Don't get me started about the space-pirate problem
GlassCannon570
Yep. *types "How to hack a satellite into google"* Yep definitely.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
I hope these ships are apart of the imperium or they will be blown out of the sky with a single macro cannon.
GlassCannon570
Not the Imperium, but the Federation.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
Oh so they are made of tissue paper.
GlassCannon570
Well, to be more exact high carbon steel. It's not THAT Federation.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
Ok fine. Hard book cover.
GlassCannon570
WTF does the Imperium even make its armor out of?
