Dreams of Space

Travel to outer space has long been a dream of mankind's. Before there were planes and trains and rocket ships, the desire to go "out there" has been on the minds of both young and old. This desire was reflected in our entertainment medium. Movies and books about space travel were very commonplace. Today's Family First Site looks at a site that takes a nostalgic look at those dreams.

The site is called Dreams of Space. It is a site that is dedicated to the artwork of science fiction and space stories that were written before science fiction became science fact. Here you can look and admire at some of these covers. They reflect an innocence of how little we understood about the complexities of space travel; yet do not diminish the adventures involved. There are a wide-ranging group of authors presented here, from Willy Ley to Walt Disney. The emphasis is on the 1950's, but the years 1883 to 1974 are mentioned as well.

The information contained here is quite interesting and entertaining. There is a real air of nostalgia that surrounds the site, one brings memories for old timers, and helps to make new ones for youngsters.
