The NASA Paintings – Landing at NUMU Los Gatos

November 2, 2015 | sack

The space settlement paintings were created almost forty years ago by Rick Guidice to illustrate publications of research by NASA Ames Research Center and Stanford University on designing and building living communities in space. At that time, before 3D modeling and computer software programs, scientists relied upon artists to convey their engineering concepts and visually communicate the possibilities that could exist for humanity beyond Earth. Guidice transformed those intellectual ideas into visions of the future that not only served the scientific community, but also informed, and continue to inform, popular culture – just think of the movie "Interstellar".
