Лекция историка фантастики Антона Первушина «Образы космической экспансии»

A lecture by science journalist and science fiction historian Anton Pervushin: "Images of Space Expansion. How to Make the Entire Universe Habitable?" as part of the "Gaps in Education" public lecture series and the parallel program of the "Strigino 3 Cosmoport" exhibition supported by the Dmitry Zimin "Enlightener" Prize. Astronautics is the most fantastical human endeavor. As we penetrate into extraterrestrial space, it gives us new words, meanings, and images, fueling the imagination of writers, poets, and artists. At the intersection of science and fantasy, a vision of the cosmic future awaits us on Earth. How did 20th-century artists envision astronautics? What did they predict? How did they influence the design of actual space technology? What can we expect from space art? Science fiction writer, science journalist, futurologist, and researcher of the history of astronautics Anton Pervushin will answer all these questions in his lecture. "Education Gaps" is a series of public lectures aimed at popularizing science and introducing its latest achievements. Renowned Russian scientists, recipients of the Enlightenment Prize, provide accessible insights into the theories and practices of modern natural sciences and the humanities.
