Abstract

Indeed, like the red-line zoning laws and patriarchal family life experienced in the mass-produced suburbs, the space race was predicated on racist and sexist barriers that effectively grounded "racially" marked Americans and women in general. This is especially paradoxical given the fact that space exploration was conducted in the name of democracy and a 1960s version of m ulticulturalism best encapsulated by Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. After the Soviet launching of Sputnik in 1957, and the subsequent establishment of the National Aeronautics and Space Adm inistration (NASA) in 1958, U.S.
