In contemplating the *A.D.2063* book discussed on the Paleo-Future blog at
http://www.paleofuture.com/2008/04/2063-ad-book-1963.html, I was reminded
of another book General Dynamics put out. But I can't remember the title.
It was published sometime in the late Eighties, and it was pretended to be a
future issue of a magazine very much like *National Geographic*. It
portrayed the exploration and development of various parts of the solar
system.
It had lots of color illustrations. I think it was given to me by a
General Dynamics employee. Can you help me track this down?

It's probably not what you're talkinjg about, but the August (?), 1970
issue had an article about the planned 'Grand Tour' of the outer
planets (which became the Voyager missions). It included several
paintings.
On a related note, a friend of mine used to have (might still, he's
moved and I haven't been to his changed digs for years) a faux NG
cover dated c2200 or so and featuring the Enterprise's encounter with
V'Ger (from Star Trek: TMP). It was a piece in the artshow of a
convention c 1980. Beautifully done, and they even figured out the
proper issue # for the cover date.
