"Trans lunar injection from earth orbit with the S-IVB."

Spectacular & ‘aspirational’ depiction - from 1963, humans had just achieved merely orbiting earth...not unlike today, 2020...but I digress - by Mr. Gary Meyer, a remarkably talented, versatile, accomplished and prolific artist.

In a direct quote from his website, listing his work experience:

"Extensive paintings of Apollo moon missions including a film called “The Apollo Mission” made before the hardware existed."

And, thanks to Dan Beaumont/Dan Beaumont Space Museum, the film is available here. “Must See TV” IMHO:

BTW, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Mr. Beaumont's amazing collection of images on this photo hosting site.

Mr. Meyer's credentials, achievements and honors are immensely impressive:
