With the USSR's launch of the Sputnik I satellite, the Space Race was on. 1957 Topps Space Cards chart the launch of human space exploration and look to possible futures of people traveling deeper into the solar system.

 

While clearly Science Fiction, a lot of the ideas were rooted well within the possibilities of what might have been possible. As the checklist progresses, it follows a natural evolution of what space travel might have been like. Following Sputnik, it imagined man heading to the moon, living there and going beyond. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and even the sun are part of the imaginative set.
