More about the book
Exploring the portrayal of space travel in film, this critical history highlights how spacesuits symbolize the dangers of outer space and human vulnerability. It begins with early works like Himmelskibet and Woman on the Moon, then analyzes classics such as Destination Moon and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The book also examines films that compromise realism with melodrama or comedy, as well as distinctive contributions from Western Europe, Russia, and Japan, culminating in the iconic televised Apollo 11 moon landing.
