At the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, everything was Space Age. From the designs and architecture to the machines and rides, it seemed to everybody that the future was in outer space. Here are some incredible pictures that capture the way we imagined tomorrow — in space.


The Unisphere, a 12-story (140 ft or 43 m) high stainless steel sphere, the symbol of the World's Fair, designed by Gilmore D. Clarke and constructed by the American Bridge Company

By pushing the oversized buttons connected to equal size cubes of different elements behind the portholes, the children learn that size and weight of copper, iron, lead and uranium blocks are deceiving at Atomsville, the Atomic Energy Commission's exhibit for children

This part of Atomsville is used to illustrate the power of electricity. A sign points out that it would take them 30 years of non-stop pumping to equal the electrical energy in one pound of uranium fuel. As the children pedal the bicycles, lights on the panel in front of them are activated by a generator attached to the wheels.

Anybody can see through this coiffure design, it's made of glass. For Heidi Galaniuk's upswept hairdo, the hair is intertwined with a scale model of the glass tower which will be exhibited in Ford Motor Company's Wonder Rotunda.

Jungle superhighways could be built really quickly – with these vehicles equipped with a laser beam that could cut through the trees. Another vehicle will cut up the stumps and transport them to a central location.
