Another copy of this issue sold recently for $107.17 with $12.30 shipping. See auction: 220675026849 Feature story is about a future manned space mission to mars. This is using 1950s technology so they planned on sending a small fleet of spaceships. The early 1950s Colliers space series had a profound impact on human history and the development of our early space program. Many space Scientists, Engineers, Astronomers and even Astronauts have credited the artwork of Chesley Bonestell in publications like Colliers and books like "The Conquest of Space" for inspiring them in their careers choices. Item has some cover wear as seen in photo but still solid very good condition.
