Vintage Space Age Illustrations

This collection of vintage Space Age illustrations not only makes one ask, “Where’s my flying car?” but also “Where’s my personal submarine?” and “Where’s my motorized water polo horse?”

    What would you do with a motorized water polo horse?

    (Play water polo, of course!)

    Where? With whom? Where would you find sufficient private expanses of water to accommodate gentlemen of leisure buzzing about on motorized craft and hitting a ball? How much would these craft cost, given the limited potential audience for them? Would they be cost competitive with more prestigious alternatives that do not require similar companions, such as water polo on a real horse, or flying an aircraft, or driving an exclusive supercar?

    Most of them fall apart under closer scrutiny, too.

    Nice drawings. No point, though.
