1600’s. Before that, it
was usually just a
background for the
scene.

RICK GUIDICE
To represent life in space is to plan
the hopes and aspirations for
humanity’s future.
In 1875, NASA worked with artist
Rick Guidice to create illustrations
of life in space.
They became popular and had a
profound impact on how we
imagine the future.
