{"product_id":"space-the-passenger","title":"Space : The Passenger","description":"Night, Sleep, Death and the Stars by Lauren Groff The Universe Underground by Paolo Giordano We All Hated Each Other So Much by Frank Westermann Plus: discovering new planets and destroying satellites; returning to the Moon (this time to stay); the Mars delusion; the hunt for extra-terrestrial life, and much more... In the 1960s, the rivalry between the superpowers brought us into space, adding a whole new dimension to human life. The last frontier was open: between 1969 and 1972 twelve men (but no women) walked on the moon.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e No one has since. The space race revealed itself for what it really was: a political and military competition. Space agencies, however, have not been idle and the exploration of the solar system has continued with probes and robots.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Without politics, science has thrived. But the lack of government funding has opened space exploration to the forces of capitalism: the race has started again, with different rules and different players. For those of us who remain on Earth, space offers a spiritual dimension, and the search for answers to age-old questions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Colonizing Mars might not be the solution to humanity's problems, but the promise of space-whether expressed in a tweet by Elon Musk or a photo taken by a NASA rover on Mars-keeps proving irresistible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: The Passenger\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 192\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9781787704190\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 178770419X\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Passenger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43821828079882,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781787704190.jpg?v=1667917034","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/space-the-passenger","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
