| | In truth, the post-World War II period was an era of momentous changes. | | | During the early 1970s, films like American Graffiti and television shows like Happy Days began to portray the 1950s as a carefree era before the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and Watergate--a decade of tail-finned Cadillacs, collegians stuffing themselves in phone booths, and innocent tranquility and static charm. | | | The Beat poets and writers scorned materialism, traditional family life and sexuality and tapped into dissatisfaction with the prevailing blandness of conventional culture. |

| | The result was the Golden Age of Science Fiction, a period that saw an unprecedented boom in spacecraft designs culled both from the serious experts (see "1950s - Concept Spacecraft") and the mass entertainers. | | | For the first time since the 1920s, the future looked promising -- assuming we could survive The Bomb -- and the nation's aspirations turned ultimately toward the stars. | | | Oddly, while this period saw plastic modeling become America's number-one hobby by mid-decade, neither Revell, Monogram, Aurora nor Strombecker thought about producing kits based on Pop Culture designs of the area. |
