Chesley Bonestell did expansive art for the Wold Book Encyclopedia space articles during the exciting early 1960s when space was going from sci-fi to reality. His art influenced me and millions of other World Book kids to become interested in space exploration. I owe Chesley so much!
Totally brilliant; faithful to 'Across the Space Frontier' ...which I bought in 1952, still have in mint condition; and all his other books of the time. Chesley would have smiled in approvalatf this great tribute......as I did! Well done, Timm Humphreys and the animators.
Wonderful, and it really invokes the memories of those old Bonestell books -- particularly "Across the Space Frontier". For a real labour of love, though, search for "Man Conquers Space Teaser IV" --- a true "alternative space future", beautifully filmed.
The stuff of my childhood dreams. Two books: The Conquest of Space by Dr Willy Ley and The Exploration of Mars by Werner von Braun were heavily infused with Mr Bonestell's work. His paintings of what he imagined the views from the surface of our system's planets and their moons were chillingly like what the Voyagers and other probes have revealed. Great works.
Raised on it... Humanity must stop this quibbling over Earth turf and get extraterrestrial... If we value resilience. The music choice kept a nice traveling edge on the journey. Woot.
It would have been difficult to animate the Lunar Lander engines to show using 2/3rds to 1/3rd of them to simulate throttling and the left and right ones in the cluster to simulate gimbaling.
Very nice! To stay in the science spirit of things: You've made a very common mistake when drawing the space station. On such a wheel the feet of the occupants would be pointing outwards from the centre hub. So you basically drew the windows in the floor! :-)
You newest Subscriber cannot praise this too highly. With your permission I have an eight minute futuristic soundtrack from the early fifties to replace yours with on my channel. You'll get full credit of course.

Time, I hope you're planning on taking Bon Braun and Willey Let along with Bonestell to Mars.
Love the music on launch.
Loved this animation which brought back memories from the late 50s!
I have a lot of his art in old magazines and books he illustrated.

Very impressive!
What is the song used?
You do an interesting lunar landing engine thrust variation with that on-off-on-off-on-off bit. ;)

The music is by the rock group Tool. The track is called "Reflection", from the 2001 album Lateralus. This post should credit the source of the music.
😢
The way it could have happened!
animation is great but sound track is out of this world .Who doe's it?
Sounds like TOOL...Or another of vocalist/writer Keenan Maynards bands.
Very bad music. Could not watch.
Disney's MAN AND SPACE had better graphics and much better music.
Completely wrong kind of music.
