Milan-Moon and Back (Colour Litho)

Milan-Luna and back. Among the novelties of the 36th Trade Fair, the greatest interest has aroused the exhibition First Steps in Space where the public can experience the sensations, at least visual, of a journey interplanetary. It is a kind of spaceship cockpit, from which visitors, through portholes, can enjoy - thanks to a clever game of sets and projections - the same hallucinating spatial panoramas that will present themselves, in a few years or decades to the authentic pioneers of the Moon; especially impressive is the spectacle of the Earth that is increasingly distant, while the Moon magnifies until it appears very close.
