This for me was a wonderful revisit to an era gone by! My childhood excitement seeing this type of art reminded me of this making the news cycles in the space race stories of the U.S. versus Russia. With this art the writers were teaching us what NASA (we collectively) were learning and advancing on. Dave captured that moment very well and authentically! If you were not "born in time to live it" and are a student of space history, Dave's art is a bullseye on how the word was spread and how we learned the 'how to' plans back in those early days from Mercury through Gemini and APOLLO development. The pace was at a speed record pace every two months on average with Gemini. Not one Gemini flight plan was repeated for a lack of failing to learn. Only too perfect because APOLLO had to be 100% error free with the flight mechanics. No second chances.
You're welcome and thank you for using your talent in this awesome and wonderful way you created. This is a very unique way to teach space history and to inspire across generations.
