Description:
Many societies have imagined going to live in space. What they want to do once they get up there - whether conquering the unknown, establishing space 'colonies,' privatising the moon's resources - reveals more than expected. In this fascinating radical history of space exploration, Fred Scharmen shows that often science and fiction have combined in the imagined dreams of life in outer space, but these visions have real implications for life back on earth.

For the Russian Cosmists of the 1890s space was a place to pursue human perfection away from the Earth. For others, such as Wernher Von Braun, it was an engineering task that combined, in the Space Race, the Cold War, and during World War II, with destructive geopolitics. Arthur C Clark in his speculative books offered an alternative vision of wonder that is indifferent to human interaction. Meanwhile NASA planned and managed the space station like an earthbound corporation. Today, the market has arrived into outer space and exploration is the plaything of superrich technology billionaires, who plan to privatise the mineral wealth for themselves. Are other worlds really possible?



Bringing these figures and ideas together reveals a completely different story of our relationship with outer space, as well as the dangers of our current direction of extractive capitalism and colonisation.

Great item
I have several of these for my German Shepherd and Hound dog. While the Shepherd can still manage to get this apart it takes a lot longer than other chew toys.

Would not recommend
I bought this for my bulldog/boxer dog thinking that it was completely made of leather but it’s not. It has an inch of felt type material between two very thin leather pieces which makes it easy for her to chew on, becoming soft very quickly and then falls apart. We took it away from the dog the first day and threw it away because we didn’t want her swallowing felt type material.
