Description
DOM Publishers Space Race Archaeologies Photographs Biographies And Design 2016 Edition by Pedro Alonso
As the byproduct of the Cold War, the space race produced a considerable number of objects disseminated in networks, not only in the East and West but also in the global South: rockets, launching pads, satellite tracking stations, astronomical observatories, and several other pieces of design, machineries and infrastructures. These objects are remnants of a modernity tied to secrecy, war deterrence, and mass media associated to outer-space politics.
