    Poets and astronomers often ask the same questions. Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Throughout human history, poetry has provided stories about what people observe in the sky. Stars, planets, comets, the moon, and space travel are used as metaphors for our feelings of love, loneliness, adventurousness, and awe. This anthology includes poets, astronomers, and scientists from the 12th century BCE to today, from all around the world. Sappho, Du Fu, Hafez, and Shakespeare are joined by Gwyneth Lewis's space requiem, Tracy K. Smith on the Hubble telescope, and Charles Simic, whose poem accompanied a NASA mission. Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Edmund Halley accompany modern scientists including Rebecca Elson, Alice Gorman on the first woman in space, and Yun Wang's space journal on travel to Andromeda. This collection reaches across time and cultures to illuminate how we think about outer space, and ourselves.

    Vor gut einem halben Jahrhundert hat der Weg der Menschen in den Weltraum begonnen. Dieser Eintritt ins All wird in diesem Band aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet. Wissenschaftsgeschichte und Philosophie, Ideologiekritik und Kulturwissenschaften schauen auf den politischen Wettlauf ins All, die Rolle der Astronomie in der Schule oder die ersten Aliens in der Science Fiction, auf Schwarze Loecher und deren kulturelle Begleitmusik. Als Stimme aus der Praxis rundet ein Interview mit Sigmund Jaehn, dem ersten Deutschen im Weltraum, den reichhaltigen Band ab.

    "Where did humanity get the idea that outer space is a frontier waiting to be explored? Destined for the Stars unravels the popularization of the science of space exploration in America between 1944 and 1955, arguing that the success of the US space program was due not to technological or economic superiority, but was sustained by a culture that had long believed it was called by God to settle new frontiers and prepare for the inevitable end of time and God's final judgment. Religious forces, Newell finds, were in no small way responsible for the crescendo of support for and interest in space exploration in the early 1950s, well before Project Mercury--the United States' first human spaceflight program--began in 1959. In this remarkable history, Newell explores the connection between the art of Chesley Bonestell--the father of modern space art whose paintings drew inspiration from depictions of the American West--and the popularity of that art in Cold War America; Bonestell's working partnership with science writer and rocket expert Willy Ley; and Ley and Bonestell's relationship with Wernher von Braun, father of both the V-2 missile and the Saturn V rocket, whose millennial conviction that God wanted humankind to leave Earth and explore other planets animated his life's work. Together, they inspired a technological and scientific faith that awoke a deep-seated belief in a sense of divine destiny to reach the heavens. The origins of their quest, Newell concludes, had less to do with the Cold War strife commonly associated with the space race and everything to do with the religious culture that contributed to the invention of space as the final frontier"--Back cover

    This book provides a companion to Aleksandra Mir's latest body of work 'Space Tapestry: Faraway Missions', exhibited at Tate Liverpool and Modern Art Oxford. Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry and the anonymous artists who depicted Halley's Comet in 1066, the 'Space Tapestry' is a large-scale, hand-drawn monochrome wall-hanging that forms an immersive environment. Much like a graphic novel, 'Space Tapestry' tells an episodic visual story of space travel. Over the past three years, Mir has maintained dialogues with professionals in the space industry and academia who have informed and inspired her. The work draws on themes relating to current debates, recorded events, scientific discoveries, technological innovations and predictions of imagined futures that currently affect all our lives.This book contains both reproductions of the finished work and images from its collaborative creation with twenty-five young artists. It also contains sixteen in-depth new interviews with a wide range of professionals working in the space industries today, providing an intimate and informative insight into the present and future of space exploration --

    This book provides a companion to Aleksandra Mir's latest body of work 'Space Tapestry: Faraway Missions', exhibited at Tate Liverpool and Modern Art Oxford. Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry and the anonymous artists who depicted Halley's Comet in 1066, the 'Space Tapestry' is a large-scale, hand-drawn monochrome wall-hanging that forms an immersive environment. Much like a graphic novel, 'Space Tapestry' tells an episodic visual story of space travel. Over the past three years, Mir has maintained dialogues with professionals in the space industry and academia who have informed and inspired her. The work draws on themes relating to current debates, recorded events, scientific discoveries, technological innovations and predictions of imagined futures that currently affect all our lives.This book contains both reproductions of the finished work and images from its collaborative creation with twenty-five young artists. It also contains sixteen in-depth new interviews with a wide range of professionals working in the space industries today, providing an intimate and informative insight into the present and future of space exploration --

    Poets and astronomers often ask the same questions. Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Throughout human history, poetry has provided stories about what people observe in the sky. Stars, planets, comets, the moon, and space travel are used as metaphors for our feelings of love, loneliness, adventurousness, and awe. This anthology includes poets, astronomers, and scientists from the 12th century BCE to today, from all around the world. Sappho, Du Fu, Hafez, and Shakespeare are joined by Gwyneth Lewis's space requiem, Tracy K. Smith on the Hubble telescope, and Charles Simic, whose poem accompanied a NASA mission. Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Edmund Halley accompany modern scientists including Rebecca Elson, Alice Gorman on the first woman in space, and Yun Wang's space journal on travel to Andromeda. This collection reaches across time and cultures to illuminate how we think about outer space, and ourselves.
