Amusing artists’ concept, circa mid-60s to early-70s?, of how space flight/technology is “viewed” by the disciplines involved.
Artists C. Jene Goodger & John B. Hinkle, responsible for the cover artwork of “The Light Stuff: Space Humor — From Sputnik to Space Shuttle”, by Bob Ward, published in 1982 by Jester Books, are likely the creators of this as well.
As an aside...admit it, if you’re ~45+ years old & liked this space stuff during the 80s, you had this book.
