A Space Humanities Journey Through Film for Teens
Description
Book Introduction
“How far can humans go beyond Earth and across the galaxy?”
Learn about 'space science,' the pinnacle of cutting-edge science, through easy and fun movies!
Meet while swimming across the wide screen

The history of space, the properties of space, space wars, space technology, industry, and the future

Space, which appears as the stage for various science fiction movies.
Thanks to the interesting and diverse films, space seems like a familiar setting to us, but at the same time, it also feels like an unknown space that humans still have difficulty entering.
That's why space feels like a very close yet distant topic.
But what is clear is that space science is advancing at a frightening pace, is closely linked to future science and industry, and is having a profound impact on our lives.
The more I learn about space science, the more I understand that the day when ordinary people, like Elon Musk, can travel to space on spaceships is not far off.


《Space Humanities Journey through Film for Teenagers》 is a science and humanities book that provides diverse knowledge and interest in space science through films.
Through the medium of film, where characters and stories come to life, we explore classic space science concepts that appear in the curriculum, as well as recent issues related to the space industry and technology.
Teenage readers will gain knowledge about space science while watching an exciting science fiction movie.
Through the space industry, which developed during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, you can also gain knowledge about economics, history, and the humanities.
Furthermore, it discusses solutions to various problems caused by the space industry, such as space debris, and provides food for thought about the future of the space industry.
For readers who are unsure where to begin learning about the vast universe, this book on space science will be as accessible as watching a movie, offering a low barrier to entry.


As the science fiction series 'Star Trek' says, "Space is the last frontier left for mankind," space is still an unknown space that has been largely untouched by humanity.
Even though science and technology have advanced, the only celestial body that humans have directly visited is still the moon.
We are currently trying to reach the next celestial body, but no one knows when that will actually happen.
Movies are content that imagines and shows various things about what space might be like.
Because there are so many and so many different types, it was very difficult to narrow down the works.
From classics to the latest films, we've carefully selected works that will provide plenty of topics for discussion.

Publisher's Review
From ancient times to the present, scientists have fought fiercely for space history, war, technology, and industry.
"Space Science," the culmination of cutting-edge science, is now accessible as a fun way to learn about it, all while enjoying it with popcorn.

When did humans first begin to wonder about space? Since time immemorial, ancient philosophers and scientists have gazed at the stars in the night sky, letting their imagination run wild and dreaming of worlds beyond Earth.
The view of the universe that began with the geocentric theory was replaced by the heliocentric theory due to the development of telescopes, and various discoveries in space science led the dynamic cosmology that 'the universe is expanding' to become mainstream instead of the static cosmology.
Beyond the solar system, to the galaxy and even further into space, the exploration and exploration of space has never ceased for as long as the long history of mankind.
In the process, space science and technology have unintentionally come to have a great impact on us living on Earth.
Many of the scientific and technological advancements we enjoy today were developed through space science research, and the competitive space development industry among nations has also become a key to achieving global hegemony.
The science of conquering the unknown space called space is providing great help and development to us living on Earth through unprecedented technology.


This book is a scientific humanities document that vividly shows the vast space of space through an interesting movie and provides diverse knowledge and interest in space science.
The film's dazzling visuals and dramatic storyline make the seemingly difficult science of space easy to understand.
We will examine not only the representative and classic space science concepts that appear in the curriculum, but also recent issues in space science technology and industry.
Teenage readers who were unsure where to start learning about the seemingly difficult subject of space science can now learn about it as if they were watching a movie with a popcorn in their hand.
You will get to know interesting movies and gain an understanding of space science, killing two birds with one stone.


Some people believe the Earth is flat? Could humans actually colonize Mars?
If we can figure out the secrets of black holes and wormholes, will time travel become possible?

Watching movies will help you build your scientific knowledge and spark a diverse intellectual curiosity!
Now that we have a round globe and photos of the Earth taken from space, what if there are people who still believe the Earth is flat? The documentary film "The Earth Is Flat Still" reveals the arguments of those who actually hold this view (Flat Earthers).
It is difficult to dismiss this as a far-fetched story and dismiss it lightly, but it has significant implications for us living in a world of advanced science.
If we do not continuously cultivate our scientific literacy to keep pace with advancing science, there is no guarantee that we will not become another flat-Earther.
This is why we need to take an interest in space science, which is a field that allows for unprecedented discoveries and feels more distant than other scientific fields, and why we need to gradually build up our scientific knowledge.


This book vividly shows the development of space science and technology, the technologies and future possibilities that countless scientists have struggled with through various films.
As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself filled with content that makes you wonder, "They even conducted this kind of research and experimentation?"
This also shows how much research is being done on things that were once considered impossible.
Watch the movie 'The Martian' to explore the possibility of colonizing Mars, and watch the movies 'After Darkness' and 'Sunshine' to discuss what would happen to Earth if the sun were to die.
Watching the movie 'Interstellar', we learn about the possibility of time travel through black holes and wormholes.


As you watch the films introduced in this book, your scientific knowledge will naturally increase, and at the same time, your intellectual curiosity toward other scientific fields will blossom.
Teenage readers will come up with numerous questions about space science as they read this book, and they will use these questions as a source of nourishment for discussion and developing their critical thinking skills.
This science and humanities book will provide an ideal, integrated reading experience for teenagers interested in future science and space science.
