Raygun Gothic

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. "A tomorrow that never was". The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.

I need to spend more time with radio shows like these.

High adventure in the wild vast reaches of space, missions of daring in the name of interplanetary justice. Travel into the future with Buzz Corey commander in chief of the Space Patrol.

They sent the commander in chief out on dangerous missions?

Still better than a lot of crud produced today though.
