I am fortunate in that I grew up in a time when the space race between the United States and the USSR was in full swing.
I remember the flight of Sputnik, the first man in space, the first space walk, the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space missions, the space shuttles, the International Space Station, man on the moon and more.
It was a wonderful time to be young. There was a feeling of excitement and anticipation in the air. Everyone pulled together and celebrated man’s accomplishments in space.
Mankind’s fascination with space and ‘out there’ has been around for centuries starting with notable historical figures such as Galileo, early rocket pioneers, early science fiction writers by the likes of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, TV shows, movies, merchandise and a staggering amount of fiction and non-fiction stories and studies.
In author Dallas Campbell’s and Thames & Hudson’s wonderful new hardbound book: Space Journal Art, Science And Cosmic Exploration. Mankind’s Journey: both imaginative and real journeys are explored.
Join the celebration of space exploration complete with newspaper and magazine clippings, archival photographs, art, graphs, documents and other memorabilia in this delightful and fascinating exploration and study of space, space pioneers, authors, journalists, technicians, scientists and space agencies.
Come along as the author invites you to travel to the stars and beyond.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
