“Long before the first Soviet and American spaceflights… American science fiction heroes were rocketing off to new locations.” Learn how our love for science fiction has helped make the impossible a reality. Weitekamp will discuss her most recent book, Space Craze: America’s Enduring Fascination with Real and Imagined Spaceflight. Bring your copy and get it autographed after the session.
