It was the size of a standard grapefruit from the distance. Earth looked depressing. I was glad I didn’t live there.…

On December 11 1972, Cernan navigated the lunar module named Challenger to land on the Valley of Taurus-Littrow on the Moon.

Of particular interest is the representation of extraterrestrial space and how it is used to explore key concerns of science fiction, including the relation of humans to technology, humans to aliens, and the present to the future. This paper focuses on the different ways that Kubrick and Tarkovsky construct environments to shape…

decided, after analyzing some data from researches, that the moon was dry. Years later, they got to the conclusion that there was a presence of water, just that they didn’t know what its origin was. Looking for a cause, they thought it was the falling comets that left some of their carrying water in the Earth’s satellite, based on pictures taken. Nowadays, with the development of new technology and better resources to gather information in the Moon, they understood what could be an unknown…

With these materials, a replica of a lunar lander was made however with different step process, for example a rectangular cardboard base instead of a circular one. A lunar lander was successfully built and got a chance to improve it. After…
