Envisioning

 

Eternity

 

 

Space.  Yesterday it was science fiction.  Tomorrow it will be reality.

A billion years ago, life emerged from the seas to the naked stone of land. 150 million years ago, it spread from the land to the empty skies. Where will life go next? To another wasteland waiting to be turned into a paradise: space.

 

Here are 60 years of imagining life's conquest of space. Turning these visions into reality is up to you and me.
