Beautiful posters. I’m baffled as to why anyone would want to spend time on planets that don’t naturally support life for humans. What is the appeal of nothingness. Just go put on a special suit and hang out in a desert on earth. At least there you might even see bugs or snakes, etc. but another planet with nothing but rocks (minerals, whatever)…how is this appealing. The biodiversity on earth is incredible and is being destroyed at an insane pace. All this space talk and people wanting to yet out of here really makes me think humans are unable to 1) appreciate what they have and 2) are extremely selfish to the point where, when whittled down in this scenario, prefer nothing to a lot of things. Besides exploring space, which I think is somewhat different, can someone tell me what the appeal of living in nothingness is…

Getting a strong vibe of Chesley Bonestell's influence in these beautiful works of art. "Chesley Bonestell: A Brush With The Future" is a wonderful documentary that examines Chesley's life and impact on the visualization of the space travel genre <a href="https://www.chesleybonestell.com/the-film.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.chesleybonestell.com/the-film.html</a>
