Description

A wry investigation of the role of space travel in popular imagination looks at the way NASA has openly borrowed from the TV show Star Trek to reinforce its public standing. Celebrates the work of a group of the show's fans who rewrite its story-lines in porno-romance fanzines. The author advocates that scientific experimentation be accompanied by social and sexual experimentation,and devoted to exploring inner as well as outer space.
