- Summary:
- The universe is alluring and mysterious. A place of wonder and terror. We know it's under no obligation to make sense to us, and yet. 'Space Journal' is a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos, and our efforts to reach it, from the seventeenth century to the present day. Dallas Campbell weaves together priceless archival memorabilia, revolutionary experiments and spectacular scenes to map both real and potential encounters with our celestial backyard. From Galileo's shopping list to speeches annotated in President John F. Kennedy's own hand, from The War of the Worlds to Space Invaders, Campbell sets out the radical thinkers and doers who have launched us towards the final frontier.
