Nasa space colony paintings in public domain

These beautiful paintings of space colonies (and other cosmic scenes), from a future we forgot to have, have been granted to the public domain, by the artist, Donald Davis.

Donald Davis was commissioned to do paintings for NASA in the 1970s and is now offering them to the public domain. The "toroidal shaped space colony" above is an incredible piece of paleo-futuristic art from 1975. Click on the images to make them larger or visit his site to see all of his space paintings.
