Militarizing Outer Space explores the dystopian and destructive
dimensions of the Space Age and challenges conventional narratives
of a bipolar Cold War rivalry. Concentrating on weapons, warfare
and vio lence, this provocative volume examines real and imagined
endeavors of arming the skies and conquering the heavens. The third
and final volume in the groundbreaking European Astroculture
trilogy, Militarizing Outer Space zooms in on the interplay between
security, technopolitics and knowledge from the 1920s through the
1980s. Often hailed as the site of heavenly utopias and
otherworldly salvation, outer space transformed from a promised
sanctuary to a present threat, where the battles of the future were
to be waged. Astroculture proved instrumental in fathoming forms
and functions of warfare's futures past, both on earth and in
space. The allure of dominating outer space, the book shows, was
neither limited to the early twenty-first century nor to current
American space force rhetorics.
