One of the pictures I chose is from the magazine, Time. There are two people wearing spacesuit, and they are racing for the moon by running. At the front side, we can see the American astronaut, and there is the Soviet counterpart behind him. The cover of this magazine shows these two astronauts who is racing for the moon is because of the Space race between the U.S and the Soviet Union from 1955 to 1972. This event happened during the cold war for the supermacy in space-flight capability. The Soviet union triggered the Space race because they succeeded to launch the artificial satellites which was called Sputnik. After the Soviet Union became successful about launcing the artificial satellite, the U.S felt “missile gap”, and they started

Actually we cannot which is closed to the moon, and conceivably they were in the same position. However, we saw the american astronaut seemed like closer than the Soviet Union. I guess that the U.S tried to assert their power even in the magazine in order to instill citizens into the perception which the U.S was going one step beyond. In addition, this picture make me think of technoclacy. The experts dominanted and managed economy. Though seemingly the space race and magazine was unrelated, the space race affected citizens in a direct fashion. Moreover, the space age became much more known to people by space age design such as “Googie”and …show more content…
The space age design became widely used for various products including cars, architectures and fashion. The building of the socond picture I chose was affected by “Googie” when it was built. This picture is the Monsato’s “House of tomorrow” in Disneyland, Califolnia. It was made entirely fiberglass, and it spread byond Disneyland. The space must have made people imagine the future that time because the space was an unexplored field. People could give full scope to their imagination in the future, and they created the future as they imagined it in disneyland. Monsato’s the house of tomorrow is the curvaceous, geometric building, and these are the features of this building. This architechture was used fiberglass, and it was the product of Monsato’s company. I guess many people get together in Disneyland once and now, and it must have been a good place to get attention of a lot of people. I think this archtecture was not only for just the attraction but also promotion of this company’s product. I think they must have attempted to sell their product by using futurelistic archtecture which was made wholly by fiberglass. At that time, since futurelistic archtectures were on the cutting edge, and people were new to all these futurelistic architectures, they could make highly impact on people. Similarly, “Googie design” is also the space age design. Many restaurants and establishments adopted spaceship or
