Militarizing Outer Space by Alexander C.T. Geppert,Daniel Brandau,Tilmann Siebeneichner Pdf
Militarizing Outer Space explores the dystopian and destructive dimensions of the Space Age and challenges conventional narratives of a bipolar Cold War rivalry. Concentrating on weapons, warfare and violence, this provocative volume examines real and imagined endeavors of arming the skies and conquering the heavens. The third and final volume in the groundbreaking European Astroculture trilogy, Militarizing Outer Space zooms in on the interplay between security, technopolitics and knowledge from the 1920s through the 1980s. Often hailed as the site of heavenly utopias and otherworldly salvation, outer space transformed from a promised sanctuary to a present threat, where the battles of the future were to be waged. Astroculture proved instrumental in fathoming forms and functions of warfare’s futures past, both on earth and in space. The allure of dominating outer space, the book shows, was neither limited to the early twenty-first century nor to current American space force rhetorics.
Imagining Outer Space by Alexander C.T. Geppert Pdf
Imagining Outer Space makes a captivating advance into the cultural history of outer space and extraterrestrial life in the European imagination. How was outer space conceived and communicated? What promises of interplanetary expansion and cosmic colonization propelled the project of human spaceflight to the forefront of twentieth-century modernity? In what way has West-European astroculture been affected by the continuous exploration of outer space? Tracing the thriving interest in spatiality to early attempts at exploring imaginary worlds beyond our own, the book analyzes contact points between science and fiction from a transdisciplinary perspective and examines sites and situations where utopian images and futuristic technologies contributed to the omnipresence of fantasmatic thought. Bringing together state-of-the-art work in this emerging field of historical research, the volume breaks new ground in the historicization of the Space Age.
Limiting Outer Space by Alexander C.T. Geppert Pdf
Limiting Outer Space propels the historicization of outer space by focusing on the Post-Apollo period. After the moon landings, disillusionment set in. Outer space, no longer considered the inevitable destination of human expansion, lost much of its popular appeal, cultural significance and political urgency. With the rapid waning of the worldwide Apollo frenzy, the optimism of the Space Age gave way to an era of space fatigue and planetized limits. Bringing together the history of European astroculture and American-Soviet spaceflight with scholarship on the 1970s, this cutting-edge volume examines the reconfiguration of space imaginaries from a multiplicity of disciplinary perspectives. Rather than invoking oft-repeated narratives of Cold War rivalry and an escalating Space Race, Limiting Outer Space breaks new ground by exploring a hitherto underrated and understudied decade, the Post-Apollo period.
Henry Hamilton In Outer Space by Marilyn Redmond Pdf
Being a ghost isn't easy. . . even if you have a Ph.D. in haunting! Henry Hamilton is a Civil War ghost with a dream of traveling in outer space. Little does he know when he stows away on the space shuttle as the first ghost in outer space that keeping incognito isn't as easy as it is on earth. Vowing not to do any haunting while on vacation (he isn't licensed to haunt in space), Henry quickly learns that haunting, for a ghost, is second nature, and that if he is not going to scare the crew of the shuttle into returning home early, he must quickly adapt to the difficulties of life in orbit. But for Henry, to remain inconspicuous is a full-time task, and what he really wants to do on this trip is learn about space and how it affects ghosts in particular. And for a ghost with a love for food, it becomes next to impossible to keep the crew from becoming suspicious of the mysterious occurrences on board the Spirit of America. A truly exciting adventure, Henry Hamilton in Outer Space gives children a real feel for what it's like to be aboard the space shuttle. Marilyn Redmond is also the author of Henry Hamilton: Graduate Ghost, an ABC TV "Children's Special."

Jed Cochrane tried to be cynical as the helicab hummed softly through the night over the city. The cab flew at two thousand feet, where lighted buildings seemed to soar toward it from the canyons which were streets. There were lights and people everywhere, and Cochrane sardonically reminded himself that he was no better than anybody else, only he'd been trying to keep from realizing it. He looked down at the trees and shrubbery on the roof-tops, and at a dance that was going on atop one of the tallest buildings. All roofs were recreation-spaces nowadays. They were the only spaces available. When you looked down at a city like this, you had cynical thoughts. Fourteen million people in this city. Ten million in that. Eight in another and ten in another still, and twelve million in yet another ... Big cities. Swarming millions of people, all desperately anxious—so Cochrane realized bitterly—all desperately anxious about their jobs and keeping them...
Outer Space in Society, Politics and Law by Christian Brünner,Alexander Soucek Pdf
Spaceflight is a rational undertaking, yet full of emotions. It is a dream of mankind and a multi-billion industry likewise. It is subject to a distinct branch of law – and moreover part of modern pop culture. In short: spaceflight is fascinating. “Outer Space in society, politics and law” is an inter-disciplinary approach to the understanding of modern space law. Technical, cultural and historical aspects lay the foundation for a sound comprehension why space law norms have been established and what they mean in practice. The reader will realize the impact space and spaceflight have on society – from Stonehenge to climate change. A new approach to presenting space law: comprehensive and illustrative. “We live in a society absolutely dependent on science and technology and yet have cleverly arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. That's a clear prescription for disaster.” Carl Sagan

Friends From Earth And Outer Space by João Alves Da Gama Pdf
(Content from the Preface) In an age where art in its various forms has been confused with the trivialization of human feelings and values, this book rescues the deepest essence of the human being. The stories told here enable us to enjoy insightful conversations among young doctors who share sincere friendship. In the course of their professional daily routine, they deal with their demons and wonder about life beyond Earth. How much baggage do we carry? What is the importance of our relationships in coping with the hardships of this life? Is it possible that beings from other planets may visit us with the sole purpose of providing enlightenment? The singularity of the events portrayed in this book unfolded when the young medical student Lucas has a meeting with his friends from outer space , bringing us precious insights about life in other dimensions. This journey of discovery and self-awareness brings about the peculiarities of the harsh daily routine proper of the Brazilian hospital reality, while telling the stories of friends who in midst adversities of the hospital life, find in one another strength and courage to share their deepest secrets and worries as they prepare for a dream wedding in Scotland. These issues are exacerbated by the moral values of society itself, which lead the physician to come across the emotionally shocking emergencies of NICU(1), as well as the perception of the pediatric emergency room. The events shown in this book depict realities which afflict doctors as human beings. Being susceptible much like anyone else to the energetic negativities generated by facts proper of the hospital reality, doctors try not to absorb them in order to carry on with their lives. Their emotional and mental bodies are constantly shaken with such perverse warps in contemporary society. Which has possibly been one of the preponderant factors influencing their psychophysical health, which in its turn, lead to a lower survival rate when compared to the general population. Such burden rank doctors high in depression and suicide statistics when compared to other liberal professionals who most give up living so drastically. Another relevant feature of this book is that it allows us to reflect on the need for a science connected to the vision of man as a multidimensional being, whose psyche is eternal, since it transcends the reality of matter, which implies a science that does not only care for bodies but for the whole man. This new science inserts in its concepts the importance of love, gratitude, goodness, ethics and spirituality as healthy remedies for health, happiness and quality of life. The author s courage to bring such pertinent themes is consecrated when he approaches the topic of regression, which is a therapeutic technique not yet inserted in the conventional scientific treaties, but that has been expanding with notoriety in the scientific environment. The Regressive Therapy to Past Lives Experiences allows the subject to delve deeply into the source of trauma and existential conflicts, bringing to the own consciousness the energetic nuclei generated by them, releasing the residues of the sensations, feelings, thoughts and images that generated these conflicts and traumas. To have the honor of doing this afterword was a gift to myself, because it connected me with the best that life can give us, bringing together in one work matters of Love, Science and Transcendence in the form of a novel. Friends from outer space gifts us with insights into quantum science while warming our hearts, revitalizing our souls, and rescuing hope in a society whose love is the soil in which our actions are based.
