After the Apollo moon landings, disillusionment set in. With the return of the last astronaut in 1972, the skies ? rather than the distant stars ? once again became the limit. No longer considered the inevitable destination of human expansion, outer space lost much of the popular appeal, cultural significance and political urgency that it had gained since the end of the Second World War. With the rapid waning of the worldwide Apollo frenzy, the optimism of the Space Age gave way to an era of planetized limits. Bringing together the history of European astroculture and American-Soviet spaceflight with recent scholarship on the 1970s, the thirteen chapters in this cutting-edge volume examine the reconfiguration of space imaginaries from a multiplicity of disciplinary perspectives. Rather than invoking oft-repeated narratives of Cold War rivalry and an escalating Space Race between East and West, Limiting Outer Space breaks new ground by exploring a hitherto underrated and understudied decade, the Post-Apollo period. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,$x2730-972X 606 $aHistory 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aTechnology?History 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aHistory of Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T29000 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aTechnology?History. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of Technology. 676 $a387.80940904 702 $aGeppert$b Alexander C.T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299792103321 996 $aLimiting Outer Space$92496472 997 $aUNINA
