- Title
Science-Fiction Critiques of the American Space Program, 1945-1958.
- Authors
Berger, Albert I.
- Abstract
The article discusses the relation among science fiction writings and space programs of the United States from 1945 to 1958. The science-fiction community has always written about space travel but was skeptical about an actual voyage into space. The success of nuclear power in Hiroshima-shi, Japan blasts and German rocket ships, developed during the second world war, has turned scientific dreams into reality. The focus has now shifted to actual space programs and its social implications.
