The Space Race encapsulates both the best and the worst of aspects of U.S. history. On the one hand, there is humanity’s drive to learn and explore. All space programs have no choice but to celebrate the wonders of mathematics, physics, and engineering. (To put this into ’80s film terms: no matter how jock-ish an image an astronaut wants to put forth, it’s still nerds who get us into space.) Space exploration doesn’t just raise the possibility that humanity will find new homes across the galaxy, but it also leaves technological innovation in its wake. But there’s still that other hand. The Space Race of the 1950s and 60s was the result of intense hatred and fear between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Many of the early aims of the program were baldly militaristic rather than scientific. At least one of the leading engineers was a former Nazi. And as idealistic as NASA was, it still enforced rigid racial and gender lines, refusing to allow qualified women to train as astronauts, and segregating Black mathematicians and would-be astronauts for decades. With all of that in mind we’ve rounded up some amazing stories of space—some true, some fictional, some historical, some set, hopefully, in our future—with an eye toward highlighting the stories of those who had to fight even harder to prove they had the right stuff.

10 Space Books to Read so the Galactic Federation Will Talk to Us This post contains affiliate links. When you buy through these links, Book Riot may earn a commission. You have to have seen the news, or at least the memes that resulted afterwards. If not, here’s the gist: the former head of Israel’s space security program came forward last week saying Israel and the United States had been in contact with the “Galactic Federation” but had been told to keep silent because the rest of humanity wasn’t ready yet. They signed contracts and everything. Yeah. 2020 is going out with a bang, y’all. I guess they didn’t want to wait until Zefram Cochrane came around. If that wasn’t already a little much, apparently Donald Trump also knew about this and managed to not blab about it once. Which is probably the most unbelievable part.
