Shown on national TV in the US, you can see why rockets became all the rage in all types of design. This was about 6 years before Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard made it into space so there's a lot of prediction and guessing still at this stage. Fun stuff!

Raygun Gothic

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. "A tomorrow that never was". The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.
