- Explores the significance of the first Apollo moon landing and how the countless books, films and products associated with factual space fiction had an affect on popular culture and artistic practice
- Investigates how a topic is hugely important in popular culture, but almost invisible in the academy, and how it makes us want to ask questions about visibility, or perhaps self-censorship
- Evaluates how little impact the space age actually had on the social sciences and humanities - partly because its combination of military-industrial cold war politics, combined with patriarchy and big science, sits uneasily with contemporary thought in these areas
- Provides an interdisciplinary collection of essays on various aspects of NASA, the moon landing and the commercialisation of space generally
- The book travels from hard engineering to space romance, echoing the variety of attempts to blur science and culture that we find in the chapters
