Welcome aboard the “SSPO Esperanta”

Another gem from Erik Wernquist

This is not the first artwork of Wernquist about the future of space exploration. In 2014, Erik Wernquist created a short science fiction film “Wanderers”.

In this film, every setting showcased is a digital replica of real destinations within our Solar System, meticulously crafted from authentic photos and map data wherever accessible.
