I, too, was a kid growing up with all these visions of the future, fascinated with all our cities and homes being in the clouds [ie. Jetsons]. It is only now that I realize what a nightmare this would be, being a person who suffers from fear of heights. I'm afraid I would have been stuck standing on the ground looking up to see the world go by! LOL

A master of Practical Futurism. Thanks, Space Chasm, for the exhibition.

I always loved the futurist art movement, especially of the 19t0s and 60s with people like McCall, Berkey and Chesley Bonestelle. The latter did the planetary and matte paintings for the 1950s film- " The War of the Worlds".

[ChameleonAI]

I like all his round and spherical motifs. Makes things look a bit alien.

Thank you for starting this channel. I'm still waiting for that wheel-shaped space station (instead of the things we got, which just look like complicated floating garbage disposals), and those plump, finned rockets that flew to other solar systems in mere weeks. Your videos are a wistful pleasure.

I've always been interested in science fiction. As a kid I was given a books titled "The Art of Star Wars." From the original trilogy. The artwork by Ralph McQuarrie. It completely blew me away. Most of the time his art is better than what showed up on film. His locations, character designs, ship designs, etc. were all so amazing. I found myself being slightly disappointed in certain aspects of films. Because they didn't live up to the concept art.

So thanks for putting this channel together. It's really awesome to see the future that could have been...

I love that he did the art work for Epcot. So he painted paintings for spaceship earth. Horizons concept work also did murals for the air and space museum in D c

As mentioned, the positive attitude to the future and the possibilities of mankind, living together as one in peace, harmony and progress, is the essence of those pictures - something we lost somehow on the way.

We have flat panel TVs and smart phones, high-speed rail and electric cars, AI and robots, but we will not truly have arrived in the future until we get this anti-gravity thing figured out.

[NebulaStudios]

This is the future we were promised and worked for in personal lives and careers. It was stolen from us. The only way forward is back to the future.

This reminds me of the Terran Trade Authority. TTA

the painting at 7:46 is just outside Page, Arizona - I was there recently!

The image of Mr. McCall painting the mural at 9:08 depicts his work for what would become part of the Horizons pavilion at E.P.C.O.T. in Florida. The mural is titled "The Prologue and The Promise". He and his wife completed the project in California in 1983, and it was carefully transported to Florida. When the Horizons pavilion was dismantled to make way for the Mars pavilion, the mural made its way back to California, and was--at least for a time--on display at the Disney Imagineering offices in Glendale, CA. I do not know where it is at the moment, but it was--and remains--a spectacular work which should be put on public display.

9:11 and 9:25 amazing technique and compositions. Wow impressive artist really

7:10 - In my head canon they have a "History of Space Flight" time-cycle, month or how it may be called and this rocket is part of a planet-wide historical reenactment event with which they remember how everything started. and this liquid fuel propelled rocket was built by a 7th grader school class.

A great look at his art depicting mankind in the future years going to the Moon, Mars and beyond can be found in “Our World In Space” with text by Isaac Asimov. I believe it was published in 1974 and is a great look at us revisiting the Moon in the eighties, and Mars in the 90s and more. One of the pix in this video is actually from that book depicting an underground Moon city. Look for the big lights in a ceiling.

Maybe the weapons at the concert hall were stun only, in case of a riot.

I like the 90s style Star Trek architecture.
