You know, you just can't get enough Nuclear Ferry! It's by far the most beautiful and futuristic of all the SWORD fleet. So I was thrilled when the mighty WOTAN posted that he'd spotted these fab SPACE BASE book illustrations by Raul Mina Mora on John Sisson's marvellous Dreams of Space Blog earlier this year. John kindly agreed to let me post them again here for you. From 1972, my favourite is the cover art with the small Ferry shuttle cab glimpsed in the lower left corner.
If you enjoyed these pictures look further on John's wonderful site and blog. There is also a fascinating interview with him too.

I'd like to find a copy of that book.
If you follow various links from that interview, you come to a website about space-mission patches:

And an interview with the author of that:

Love that art work, very inspiring stuff.
Thanks you for sharing the link to my interview with the space-mission patch author on http://ephemera.typepad.com/ephemera/
