The Moonship is ready to go...

Just like Apollo 8, its first trip was speculated in, Conquest of the Moon, to be a wrap-around and return, with no landing. Bonestell's took care to be precise and he did not exaggerate. Von Braun said that when Bonestell called on him asking for descriptions of his new rockets, the artist reprimanded the scientist for being sloppy.

Classic Von Braun.

But view from the command module once in orbit? That was to be pure visionary art.
