This one is my favorite. These are spaceships that use giant "sails" to capture the ceaseless bombardement of solar radiation to power the ships so they can travel the solar system. Do people even think up ideas like this anymore?

The Future of The Past
Brad found these photos on Plan 59. They are advertisement drawings from the late 40s into the 50s. What gets me about these images is that they were born out of optimism for the future and the promise that things will always get better. Sure maybe the the Cold War had a little bit to do with this but at least there was vision for a better tomorrow. I look at these and wonder what happened to that vision of the future?
