I will always love seeing more examples of how they envisioned rockets might look, long before we made any people could travel in.

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. “A tomorrow that never was”. The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.

Post and discuss anything with these aesthetics.
