Its all in Dutch but Im sure theres an English version of it, its called 'The How and Why Wonder book of The Moon' by Felix Sutton. Ofcourse this book has a lot of images and its fun and interesting to see how they saw the 'future' of space exploration. It has nice pictures of the moon landscape, concept art of a couple of moon rovers, Ranger, moon landers, moon base(domes included) and something that looks like a spaceshuttle. I think some of you might be interested in this some I made some scans of a couple of images from the book: http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/1.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/2.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/3.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/4.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/5.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/6.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/7.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/8.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/9.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/10.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/11.jpg http://alphaorionis.be/images/demaan/12.jpg
