The 1950's was an exciting time to have been alive.  Man made his first trip into space.  Russia launched their Sputnik. In general everyone's imagination was captured by space travel.  The Sputnik, because of it's unusual shape fascinated people.  Everything related to space travel and space influence design.

We have had our head in Space looking to the stars ever since. Always wondering and continually gazing upward.  We look to the stars and speculate.  There have been an abundance of innovative and marvelous designs inspired by outer space, as man has looked to the stars.
