Space photography by NASA
Here are the few photos taken by NASA, which includes Space photographs also. Space photography has come a long way since the Mercury missions of the early 1960s. The only photo equipment in Colonel John Glenn’s cramped Friendship 7 capsule was a point-and-shoot camera loaded with Kodak 35mm film.

Astronaut Ice Cream
Freeze dried to survive the trip into outer space, then vacuum sealed for freshness, you can now get your own pack of Astronaut Ice Cream, and eat like they do at 300 km above the earth. Surprisingly delicious, this isn’t the same brand of rations used by NASA’s men and women, but prepared in the same way, and no less novel. Available online in Neopolitan only.

Eric Zelinski Redesigns Man and Space
Eric Zelinski had an unusual inspiration to redesign 4 chapters of a classic educational book; Time Life Science Library’s Man and Space. The edition was first printed in 1964 and contained some very basic info-graphics on various space travel themes of the era. Keep in mind that this is pre-Apollo — so some of the items were conceptually unproven, but based upon generally accepted models of that time.
Seen above is “Ways to Go” which presents 3 different ways that NASA was actually considering for getting a man to the surface of the moon and back. Judging from the upstanding rockets seen in diagram #1 and #2, I think #3 is closer to the method that prevailed.
A diagram of the way back home.
A bit of more general information on the local environment around earth.
See also Eric’s submissions to the t-shirt giant Threadless. Many are space themed and his current submission is “Us Divided” which features a cosmic Earth split in two. It is now available for voting, so why not show some support?

Atomic Ghost ‘Astro Bears: American Heroes’
The Atomic Ghost, alias of Brazilian artist Rafael Castilho, has created a humorous photo series titled, ‘Astro Bears: American Heroes.’ The pieces, which feature the combination of photographs of astronauts from the early days of NASA combined with Castilho’s own illustration of a cartoon bear heads, occupy the more lighthearted space within art. ‘Astro Bears: American Heroes” may not be the highest form of artistic creation, but it is creative production none the less, and even if it doesn’t make you question existence, it will at the very least make you chuckle.

Space Blog for Designers: wanderingspace.net
Anyone can go to the official NASA website to see the most recent images returning from the various missions in operation. Wanderingspace collects images not only from official press releases, but also monitors the freelance imaging community that puts the time and love into making composites that NASA doesn’t. These are among some of the very best images available of our local cosmic neighborhood and yet many get barely any public exposure.
