Final Frontier: A Broadside Portfolio (Vol. 2 No. 6)

Description It depends who you ask, space travel is either an obsolete dream of the past or a vital key to humanity’s future. Officially, America’s space program is undergoing budget cutbacks, and manned missions have been relegated to the backburner. At the same time, though, with uncertainty swirling regarding Earth’s ability to support its burgeoning human population, the quest for a new home may once again spur us into space. Whatever the future holds, mankind has long gazed heavenward in wonderment. Long before Yuri Gagarin became the first human to leave Earth’s atmosphere, we relied upon the stars to navigate our homeworld. Scientists tirelessly observed and debated the course of the celestial bodies. Above all, our creative minds painted vivid, fantastical images of what life might look like beyond the mundanity of Earth. Even today, as we actively probe into interstellar space, our fascination with the unknown—our insatiable drive to plunge deeper into the void—has never diminished. Thus, as we peer outward from our corner of the Milky Way, we offer this, our broadside salute, to The Final Frontier.
