The Planetary Society Book Club: Author and historian Margaret Weitekamp on "Space Craze"

Rockets, spaceships, ray guns, exotic worlds, alien creatures! We're crazy for these hallowed tropes of science fiction. Then there's the more recent adventure of actual human spaceflight. The National Air and Space Museum's Weitekamp curates a growing collection of over 5,000 items that reflect our ongoing fascination with space travel, both real and imagined. She shares a small, charming sample of these cultural artifacts with the Society's Mat Kaplan in this great conversation drawn from her book.
