That artwork reminds me of something:


http://www.amazon.com/Another-Science-Fiction-Advertising-1957-1962/dp/0922233357/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264556499&sr=1-1


This is a book due out soon that contains a lot of examples of aerospace company advertising from 1957-1962.  I served as a fact-checker for the book and so I worked on the galley proofs.  It is filled with a lot of great artwork that has not been published since this time period.  There are a lot of ads from companies like Lockheed, Convair, Goodyear, various electronics companies, etc.  And it's some wild stuff, similar to the image you posted earlier.  These ads date from a time before people had an idea of what human spacecraft would look like (pre-LM selection, for instance), so the artists frequently let their imaginations run wild.  It's neat stuff.
