Third release week of November 15, 1971 

THE 6:10 INTO SPACE. NASA is working on the design of a winged shuttle craft to resupply the manned space stations of the next decade. The giant space transports shown here can carry 50,000 pounds of men and cargo to the cluster of cylinders that make up a space base, the return to Earth and land like airplanes.

I have to admit, the uncropped version of this image by Don Davis made me smile. That’s acetate sheet, and you can see the punch holes to line up the levels on an Acme Pegbar. That takes me back.
