SOVIET BOOSTER SPACE TANK




Hi Woodsy,

Found these while trawling the 'net. 

Although it's from 1950, can't help thinking of 2001 when I look at that space station image.

Also, perhaps the strangest "take" on the booster rocket yet?

all the best,

Andy B

  1. Here is a 1953 USSR moon image ( https://steemitimages.com/DQmSnnjopTHncbnRheCT1XQSHoddW7iUQVXtr7YkgFaFyyu/19.jpg ) from which "maybe" took inspiration the author of this iconic 2001:aSO poster ( http://annyas.com/images/kubrick-movie-typography/2001-space-odyssey-one-sheet-movie-poster.jpg ) ;-)

    1. Interesting stuff SteelRust. The soviets created really dramatic space art for sure and who knows whether Kubrick or the poster artists saw any. I imagine somewhere someone will know as 2001 is one of the most studied films in history,
