At first glance , this dizzying flow diagram looks more like amap of metabolic pathwaysthan a program for establish a lasting human front in space , but that ’s on the nose what it is .
This remarkably detailed , chronologically unionise “ Integrated Space Plan ” was produce by aerospace conglomerateRockwell Internationalback in the 1980s , and give an thoroughgoing ( if somewhat daunting ) coup d’oeil into what it will take for humans to exposit throughout the solar system and beyond .
A hi - Ra version of the programme , usable here , was recently tracked downafter years of searching by MAKE Magazine ’s Sean Ragan . Go on and give it a gander . Some of the projections are clearly tinted by a 1980s - era lens ( the language , for example , is steeped in comparisons between aerospace innovations by “ The West ” and “ The Soviets ” ) , but many of the acoustic projection rest relevant to contemporary plans for mystifying space geographic expedition .
