This talk examines some contexts for understanding the human exploration of near-space, the factual, the fictional and the boundary between the two. It considers the Russian cosmists, Soviet utopianism, the projection of American power, cinematic treatments of messages from heaven, environmental politics and planet Earth's inclusion in the classical celestial journey, and, not least Jack Parsons, the pioneer of American rocketry and practicing magician.
The talk is available online at: http://anthreligconsc.weebly.com/lecture-archive.html
