The serious business of leaving Earth orbit and going somewhere—the moon, Lagrange points, maybe Mars if we ever get our act together. Medium-range spaceflight requires weeks or months, real planning, and the willingness to be very far from help if something goes wrong. It's for people who are committed to space, not just sampling it, and who have accepted that they will miss several seasons of their favorite shows, possibly forever, depending on how the landing goes.
Example: "She trained for years for medium-range spaceflight—a six-month mission to a lunar station. She'd miss birthdays, holidays, and the entire run of whatever Netflix series dropped while she was gone. But she'd see Earth rise over the lunar horizon, which seemed like a fair trade, assuming the rocket didn't explode. Her mother was not convinced."

Get the Medium-Range Spaceflight mug.The application of Critical Theory to space science—examining how space exploration and research are shaped by power, politics, and economics. Critical Theory of Space Science asks: Who funds space science? For what purposes? How do military and corporate interests shape space agendas? Whose dreams of space are realized, whose are excluded? How might space science serve humanity rather than nationalism or profit? Drawing on critical geography and science studies, it insists that space is never just "out there"—it's an extension of Earthly politics, power, and inequality.
"Space exploration is for all humanity, they say. Critical Theory of Space Science asks: funded by whom? Controlled by whom? Billionaires racing to space while people starve—that's not 'all humanity.' Space science serves power, just like everything else. Critical theory insists on asking: who benefits from space, and who's left behind on Earth?"
