The "Manned Space Flight" vintage General Electric Space Program poster from 1961 is a collectible piece of historical memorabilia that showcases the early days of the NASA program in the United States. The poster features imagery and themes related to astronauts and space travel, making it a significant artifact for those interested in the history of space exploration. This promotional poster serves as a visual reminder of the pioneering work being done in the realm of space travel during this time period, offering a glimpse into the pioneering spirit of the early space program.
Seller note: The poster was on my wall for years as a young man. It is a product of General Electric Corp., a NASA contractor during the 1960's. " The chart explains how a space crew will be launched into space, their life while in orbit." It was one of the first posters NASA and other companies involved in the space program, rushed out in early 1961 to inspire the public in their mad rush to compete with the Soviets who just sent Yuri Gagarin into orbit.
Poster size: 25.5" x 37.75"
