Sigh. Beautiful. The gifted artist Bill George<\/a> has created a huge series of pictures<\/a> depicting real-life scenes with some of the best science fiction spaceships of all time. I suspect most of you out there haven’t even heard of the old scifi series \"Space:1999\"<\/a> — it had a profound impact on my young self, and it spawned one of the most beautiful ships of all time: the Eagle. George has created a whole passel of Eagle images, and they’re spectacular! He even has several hi-res versions you can download<\/a>.<\/p>

\"scifiairshow_hawk\"<\/a>He has shots of ships from \"Battlestar Galactica\", \"2001\", \"Land of the Giants\" (who remembers that<\/em> show?), and \"Star Trek\". These are truly amazing photos he’s put together, and if you’re of a certain age I expect your heart will pang with what could’ve been. <\/p>

I hope he puts out a lot more of these. My heart races when I watch rocket launches and space activity IRL, but it was these shows that excited and inspired me as a kid… and still do as a grownup. We need to dream, and seeing these dreams made real — even if only in Photoshop — is still compelling.<\/p>
