Limiting Outer Space propels the historicization of outer space by
focusing on the Post-Apollo period. After the moon landings,
disillusionment set in. Outer space, no longer considered the
inevitable destination of human expansion, lost much of its popular
appeal, cultural significance and political urgency. With the rapid
waning of the worldwide Apollo frenzy, the optimism of the Space
Age gave way to an era of space fatigue and planetized limits.
Bringing together the history of European astroculture and
American-Soviet spaceflight with scholarship on the 1970s, this
cutting-edge volume examines the reconfiguration of space
imaginaries from a multiplicity of disciplinary perspectives.
Rather than invoking oft-repeated narratives of Cold War rivalry
and an escalating Space Race, Limiting Outer Space breaks new
ground by exploring a hitherto underrated and understudied decade,
the Post-Apollo period.
