One of my childhood memories is of getting bagfuls of swag from presenter tents at our local airshow (back when we still had one).
One year, NASA gave out replica space Pepsi cans. Another year, this gem ended up in my swag bag. It's a 1988 promotional book from General Dynamics Space Systems Division. It's done up to look like a National Geographic-type magazine from 2038.
The premise of the whole issue is the first manned commercial flight to Mars, as told by the "author", her hand-drawn sketches of various aspects of the mission (since nobody's actually colonized the Moon or Mars yet), as well as "vintage" NASA and General Dynamics illustrations (from 2022's perspective, they could definitely be vintage now).
This is a replacement I just got from eBay.
