Outer Limits Space Stations

This space station is another handsome
design originally built for "Men Into Space". It accurately reflects
the aerospace industry thinking of the day about near-term space stations
and is designed to rotate to provide a feeling of gravity through the effects
of centrifical force. It features a variety of antennas and telescope mounts
for scientific research. Forty-five years after the official start of the
space race finds that we still have yet to build such a sophisticated station.
The Moon Base shown here is also from "Men Into Space" and features
a landing pad for transport rockets along with a sunlit domed enclosure for
crew habitat. Also seen here is what appears to be a solar powered generating
station from the same series.
