More than one commentator has mentioned that science fiction as a form is where theological narrative went after Paradise Lost, and this is undoubtedly true. Supernatural creatures with wings, and burning bushes that speak, are unlikely to be encountered in a novel about stockbrokers, unless the stockbrokers have been taking a few mind-altering substances, but they are not out of place on Planet X. The form is often used as a way of acting out the consequences of a theological doctrine. The theological resonances in films such as Star Wars are more than obvious. Extraterrestrials have taken the place of angels, demons, fairies and saints, though it must be said that this last group is now making a comeback.
Another Science Fiction ist der Titel von Megan Prelingers neuem Buch mit Anzeigen aus der Ära des großen Weltraumrennens.
Prelinger in dem NY Times Feature über das Buch:
These images suggest that the furthest reach of what humankind hoped to find in space was in fact the very essence of infinity.

Ein interessantes Zeitdokument:
WELTRAUMSCHIFF 1 STARTET (1940) ist ein 23-minütiger Zusammenschnitt aus dem Rest-Material wegen des Ausbruchs des 2. Weltkrieges leider abgebrochenen Dreharbeiten zu den SF-Filmen ZWISCHENFALL IM WELTRAUM (D 1939, Regie: R A Stemmle) und WELTRAUMSCHIFF 18 (D 1939, Regie: Eduard von Borsody)
Summary: A German film depicting, through the use of special effects and animation, the launch of a space ship and its trip around the moon and return. Brief scenes are included of early German rocket power experiments.
Diese Experimente führten ja dann bekanntermaßen in den folgenden Jahren der V1 und V2 Raketen, die anstatt auf dem Mond, wie in diesem Film so schön technoromantisch geschwärmt wird, in den Innenstädten von Antwerpen und London gelandet sind.

0:52 no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17)
0:58 joy in their God is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10)
1:12 God will promote you (Psalm 75:7*)

2:01 ensnared by the very words of your mouth (Proverbs 6:2)
2:10 I shall fight this uncircumsized Philistone (1 Samuel 17:36)
2:31 I have come in the name of the Lord my God (1 Samuel 17:45)All the 1 Samuel references come from the story of David and Goliath, which this skit is repackaging into the weird guitar battle, which itself might be meant to be an allusion to David’s musical skills (1 Samuel 16:23).
