'A breathtaking glimpse at the margins of space history' Tim Peake 'A cosmic treasure trove' Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock 'A wonderful celebration of the creative power of spaceflight to transform the impossible into the infinitely possible' Nicole Stott A celebration of space exploration told through the visual imagination of great dreamers from the sixteenth century to the present day. 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.
