Space Tower 1965

August 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

Heading back to the Mainland after a July trip to one of the outlying islands, I noticed this tower at the airport.

Got a groovy retro sci-fi vibe going on – appears to have been built around 55 years ago.

Reminds me of that ’50s ‘Space Art’ genre – as they imagined what their utopian future might look like…

As such, it’s more than just a tower; it’s an artistic statement embodying the hopes and dreams of a past generation.

Thank you unknown architect. Your dreams live on.

Spaceport 1965. Love the ‘outpost planet’ look achieved through the use of rusty panelling.

Wonder what the inner staircase is like 55 years on…
Original sky with a bit of extra whiz and yep, that moon was there. That pipe or whatever it is running down the right hand side makes it look a bit like the background has been (poorly) replaced.
But hey, if I was going to fake the moon it would look more like the next image…

Fake moon – because you wanted it.
