Space Age buying Ants

The vast contribution of ants to the American space race is unheralded and hush hush, even today. My top-secret subterranean illustration, however, shows just how crucial the “Astro-Ants” were in the development of rockets, flying saucers, and those bubble helmets actors wore in those old sci-fi movies. This painting also shows the complex work of tunneling like buying so many ants had done in the wild before entering the space program, likely through tiny cracks around the baseboards.
