LUNCHTIME ON THE MOON

RETURN TO INNER SPACE

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

The illustrations above are from the book First Men to the Moon authored by Wernher von Braun and illustrated by Fred Freeman. If you’re a little rusty on cold-war era aeronautics history, von Braun was the preeminent rocket scientist during the space race. He pioneered missile and projectile technology for Germany, then the U.S. Army, then NASA, where he lead the development of the Saturn 5 rocket that carried the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon.

But when von Braun wasn’t busy building revolutionary rockets, he found time to write a few books; books that fueled public interest in space exploration. He dedicated First Men to the Moon to his daughters 9 years before his rocket design would actually carry the first men to the moon. Working closely with von Braun to illustrate the book was Fred Freeman, who according to the book’s jacket, was “a member of the original space symposium which included Wernher von Braun, Mr. Freeman has worked closely with the author on the preparation of this book to achieve meaningful coordination of drawings and text.”

MISSION STATEMENT

CORONAL CRAVINGS

The photo above is a planet, being devoured by a distant, very hungry star. 

The planet, called WASP-12b, has only about 10 million years left before the jumbo-sized world, cooking at 2,800 degrees in a tight orbit, is consumed by the star.

So go ahead and finish that off that key lime pie, knowing that someone's got a much larger battle with gluttony than you ever will.

ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE
