Nasa’s collection of illustrations depicting futuristic space colonies is incredible. All these are from the Ames research center, and were commissioned in the 70′s. Unfortunately for me, I don’t think a space society would have much need for artists, unless you were a national treasure or something. I guess I could be some futuristic version of a trash collector. Pick me NASA! Check out some cool images after the jump…

This is what I live for. The Back To The Future series is probably my all-time favorite from childhood. Pocket Lint somehow found these original concept art sketches for the film that are currently blowing my mind.

Forward thinkers are the most amazing of people. One of the most amazing of which was Arthur C. Clarke, the late science fiction author who penned 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not only was he a forward thinking man, he apparently could tell the future as well.
