Outer space - the source of inspiration. Appreciates the infinite variety and vastness surrounding us. Expands the vision of humanity. Some space artists work with space scientist / engineers to be inspired.
Some worked with the rocket field in visualizing space exploration proposals. This helped spread the idea of going outer space to more audience.
