Space oddities : our strange attempts to explain the universe
Tucker, S. D. (Steven)2017
Book
On 4th October 1957, the Soviet Union's famous satellite Sputnik was launched into orbit, and the Space Age began. Or did it? Sputnik may have marked the beginning of humanity's physical exploration of the universe, but we had already been exploring it with our minds for thousands of years, often with some very surprising results. To mark the 70th anniversary of Sputnik's launch, S.D. Tucker seeks out the strange, surprising and downright silly ideas about outer-space that have arisen throughout history.
