Space Age Blowjob
In the 1960s and 1970s, color photos of the Earth taken from space by NASA astronauts became pop-culture icons, and were widely distributed as art posters. (I’m sure it helped that the United States government retains no copyright in visual materials created by government employees.) Although this view of the earth from space was not as famous as the so-called Blue Marble, the poster sold well and was seen everywhere, as I am just barely old enough to remember. However, I am not old enough to have seen it in the pages of Color Climax #19 in 1975 as the background for a blowjob:
If any space buffs know their Apollo mission photography (or other space photographic history) well enough to identify the particular history of the photo on the poster, by all means contribute what you know in the comments!

It’s the first full-disk image of the Earth taken by a human. Astronaut William Anders took the photo during Apollo 8 (12-21 or 22-1968), 2-3 days before the Earthrise photo was taken from the Moon’s orbit (12-24-1968).
Its first version, visible in a NASA article about Apollo 8 (https://www.nasa.gov/missions/apollo/part-3-apollo-8-the-far-side/), has the night side of the Earth on top and South America toward the bottom. This poster, like the album cover for Man at the Moon (1969) by Hansson and Karlsson, flips the image and puts the night side at the bottom. I wouldn’t be surprised if the poster were related to the album.
Thank you, Valdi! I knew it would be known.
Did you notice.
There’s a girl sucking a boy’s cock in front of the poster of the earth.
A man and a woman, I should hope … and that’s why we’re here, JA! But we’re allowed to be nerdy about our porn, are we not?
Yes, to both.
