Abstract

CuriositiesCuriositiesSPACE● Humans have long dreamed of space travel. An early example traces to the second century, when the Syrian—Greek writer Lucian of Samosata wrote of a boat blasted to the moon. Recent discoveries may have put other moons on sightseers' bucket lists. Enceladus, which orbits Saturn, hosts icy geysers that inspired this poster, part of a series by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But Enceladus and other distant worlds have thin atmospheres, so new technologies would be needed to be able to leave helmets back home (see Page 66). — McKenzie PrillamanPHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
