The development of rocket power is probably the penultimate expression of the high-powered culture we have become and currently it is the only means available to leave the surface of the planet we inhabit. To this end, this is a story spanning the distant past with its sparse deposits of low-tech cultural remnants and on through the cultural continuum and the multitude of revolutionary agents and cultural markers evolving over time to deliver the means to explore interplanetary and interstellar space. The core of this book deciphers cultural markers seen as signposts in terms of social and technological imperatives expressed in the vernacular of the popular media. Whatever has survived the journey to the present time or could be still in archival process, clay tablets, manuscripts, books, journals, newspapers, magazines, and comics reflect certain mainstream social priorities. The space horizon in the new millennium continues to shift rapidly with our departure from the solar system and arrival into interstellar space after a journey that began in 1977. The journey in this story concludes with these relatively new additions among others to space history and the material heritage of the space-time continuum and the notion of high-powered culture.
