How have actual spaceships influenced the design of fictional ones like the
Millenium Falcon and the starship
Enterprise? Did a fiction series in
Collier's magazine really inspire us to create real-life space stations like Mir and the ISS? How have our depictions of space travel developed as the reality of space travel changed? In his new book
Spaceships: An Illustrated History of the Real and the Imagined, Ron Miller shows that when it comes to spacecraft, art actually does imitate life and, even more bizarrely, life imitates art. Miller takes readers on a visual journey through the history of the spaceship both in our collective imagination and in reality.
