A few years back, I managed to replace Colonies in Space with a nice, slightly-oversized hardcopy. The cellophane dustjacket suggests that it sojouned in a public library's collection before finding its way to a used bookstore.

One of the books in my old collection that I haven't replaced was a NASA publication that shared many of the same illustrations as Heppenheimer's book: Space Settlements: A Design Study.

However, as the link shows, NASA has in fact put the entire contents of that volume online -- including sixteen full-color paintings by Don Davis and several others.

Since so many of you enjoyed the Davis paintings...

Then: "Space colony! Yeah! I can hardly wait!"

Now: "Trees in space? Are you nuts? It's bad enough here on the ground with roots busting pipes! Now you want to go planting those things right alongside the vacuum of space? Geezuz!"
