Voyage 1969

"The Noah's Ark of the 20th century flew into space, carrying with it hopes and fears. However, it seems that just its hopes were left behind on the moon. Here in the 'future', in the 21st century, only fears and a handful of illusions seem to be all that remain." - ZUN, Touhou 8 IN 😞😞😞

First Man on MOON !

Four days after launching from Cape Kennedy in Florida, Neil Armstrong took “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” on July 20, 1969, and became the first human to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Less than 20 minutes later, Buzz Aldrin, who piloted the lunar module, joined his commander. The two explored the moon on foot for three hours while conducting experiments and collecting samples. After rejoining fellow astronaut Michael Collins, who also made the voyage, Armstrong and Aldrin returned to Earth on July 24.

Hagio Moto’s Marginal and BL manga as feminist fabulation

Content Warning: Discussions of sexual assault and gendered violence

Major Spoilers for Marginal

Hagio Moto—a key manga artist of the year 24 group shoujo renaissance—is famous for her comics exploring gender and sexuality (The Poe Clan, The Heart of Thomas), and her often mystical, mind-expanding sci-fi (Otherworld Barbara), as well as works that do both (They Were Eleven, A, A’). Marginal, released from 1985-1987, is an example of this overlap. Set on a Dune-like desert world in which all women have died out, and all babies are born to a mysterious religious figure known as “Mother,” Marginal explores what gender relations might look like in a world with no women.  Here, Hagio follows in a long sci-fi tradition of feminist novels and short stories like Suziki Izumi’s “Onna to onna no yononaka” (A World of Women and Women, 1977), Ursula Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), Joanna Russ’s The Female Man (1975), and Kurahashi Yumiko’s Amanon koku ōkanki  (Records of a Voyage to Amanon, 1986), which use a fantastical premise conduct speculative sociological experiments into other ways gender could be done. Marginal is very much worth the read alongside these texts, as a work of feminist fabulation which uses emergent “boy’s love” tropes to talk about heterosexual relationships, as much as to fantasize about homosexual ones.

Hi! I really enjoy your Tumblr and your conservation work of 1970s sci-fi art. I recently inherited my dad's old sci-fi book collection, and was hoping to pass the cover art on to you. I don't know if you've already got some of these, but I figured I'd pass them on here!

'Traitor to the Living' by Philip Jose Farmer. Cover artists Hans Ulrich and Ute Osterwalder

'Time Out of Mind' by Pierre Boulle. Cover artist not listed.

'The Z Effect by Marshall Laurens. Cover artist Alan Magee.

'Buy Jupiter' by Isaac Asimov. Cover artist not listed.

'Endless Voyage' by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Cover artist not listed.

I'll send the others in further asks, to keep this from being too long!

Cool, thanks for sending these! Looks like the Time out of Mind artist is Richard Powers in 1969, and the Buy Jupiter cover is Peter Andrew Jones in 1976. Not sure about the artist for the Endless Voyage cover - it's apparently credited somewhere to a "Lombardo," and I wonder if that's a misprint of Joseph Lombardero's last name, as it looks kinda like his style.

I got all that information from ISFDB.org - it's basically a Wiki for sci-fi and fantasy books, and if you google a book title/author with "isfdb.org" at the end, you can usually find the cover artist listed!

Colección series vintage, hoy STAR TREK : THE ORIGINAL SERIES (TOS) , en español se llamó VIAJE A LAS ESTRELLAS y también LA CONQUISTA DEL ESPACIO. Es una serie de TV de ciencia ficción creada por Gene Roddenberry y que salió al aire en tres temporadas entre los años 1966/1969 y con 80 capítulos con 29 para la 1ra , 26 para la 2da y 24 para la tercera y última, mas un capítulo extra en el año 1988. La serie esta ambientada en el siglo XXIII y sigue las aventuras de la nav e espacial ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 al mando del Capitan JAMES T.KIRK (𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿), su primer oficial el Sr SPOCK (𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗡𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘆), el oficial medico en jefe LEONARD McCOY (𝗗𝗲𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆), la oficIal en comunicaciones NYOTA UHURA (𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘀), los pilotos SULU Y CHEJOV (𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗶 y 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗴) y el ingeniero de a bordo SCOTTY (𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻), todos ellos convertidos en celebridad con el paso del tiempo, algunos mas otros menos. Cuando la serie se estreno en 1966 no fue un éxito de inmediato pues la audiencia era baja y también los ingresos por publicidad e incluso antes de finalizar la 1ra temporada ya se hablaba de una cancelación.Su productor original Gene Roddenberry se alejó en la 3ra temporada y al final de esta, la serie fue cancelada. Sin embargo la serie fue extremadamente popular luego de una redifusión en la década del 1970, tanto que fue seguida de 10 series más y algunas de pronto estreno.

1-Star Trek: La serie animada: Se emitió entre 1973 y 1974.  2-Star Trek: The Next Generation: Se emitió entre 1987 y 1994.  3-Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Se emitió entre 1993 y 1999.  4-Star Trek: Voyager: Se emitió entre 1995 y 2001.  5-Star Trek: Enterprise: Se emitió entre 2001 y 2005.  6-Star Trek: Discovery: Se emitió entre 2017 y 2024k.  7-Star Trek: Picard: Se emitió entre 2020.  8-Star Trek: Lower Decks: Estreno 2020 y concluye a final 2024. 9-Star Trek: Prodigy: Se emitió entre 2021 y 2024. 10-Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Estreno 2022 y aún al aire.   11-Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Se estrenará en 2025.

Obviamente que la franquicia no se quedo solo en la creación y emisión de series, sino que también se crearon películas, que hasta la fecha son 6 con los personajes de la serie original, el Capitán Kirk, Spock, Uhura y otros.

1-Star Trek:The Motion Picture (1979). 2-Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982). 3-Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984). 4-Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). 5-Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). 6-Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991).

Con el resurgimiento de la franquicia, gracias a una nueva serie llamada Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), llegaron otra saga de películas con el Capitán Picard (𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁), que en total fueron estas 4:

1-Star Trek: Generations (1994). 2-Star Trek: First Contact (1996). 3-Star Trek: Insurrection (1998). 4-Star Trek: Némesis (2002).

La franquicia se tomo unos años de descanso, hasta que en el 2009, Lanza una película, que fue finalmente trilogía, con el Capitán Kirk mas joven, interpretado por 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗲.Las películas fueron:

1-Star Trek (2009).   2-Star Trek Into Darkness (2013). 3-Star Trek Beyond (2016).

También habra una película nueva, que retomará el personaje de la emperadora Philippa Georgiou, interpretado por la actriz 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗼𝗵, cuyo personaje apareció en la serie Star Trek Discovery (2017):

1-Star Trek: Section 31 (2025).

Quedo grabado para siempre en nuestros oidos el introito de la serie original y todas las demás, la voz de su capitán que decía “El espacio: la ultima frontera. Estos son los viajes de la nave estelar «Enterprise», en una misión que durara cinco años, dedicada a la exploración de mundos desconocidos, al descubrimiento de nuevas vidas y nuevas civilizaciones, hasta alcanzar lugares donde nadie ha podido llegar antes”. Mi puntaje para esta icónica serie es 8/10.

Richard Woodman

Writer who drew on his own experience at sea in a series of novels and historical works about the British merchant navy

“The end was anticlimax. We slipped home unnoticed. Britain turned no hair at our arrival, as just as she has turned no hair at our extinction.” When Richard Woodman published Voyage East in 1988, he knew that the mercantile world depicted within it, which he had joined aged 16, was gone.

The first-person novel – which never reads like fiction – describes the voyage of a cargo liner carrying goods and passengers from Liverpool to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kobe and Shanghai in the mid-1960s. There is a moment, off the coast of Borneo, when the captain sees a vessel with half a dozen grey aluminium boxes on her foredeck: “What the devil are they?” he asks the pilot. “‘They’re containers, Captain,’ the Pilot replied, and no one on the bridge heard the sentence of death pronounced upon us.”

Woodman, who has died aged 80, became the memorialist of the merchant fleets. Between 2008 and 2016 he wrote the history of the British merchant navy in five volumes, followed by A Low Set of Blackguards, a two-volume history (2016-17) of the East India Company.

His outstanding contribution came through his three second world war convoy histories: Arctic Convoys (1994), Malta Convoys (2000) and The Real Cruel Sea (2005). These are works of passion, based on experience and scrupulous research.

The loss of life among merchant seamen was proportionately greater than in any of the armed services and the recognition they received far less. From the beginning of the war a seafarer’s pay was stopped the minute his ship was sunk. “Time spent fighting for his life on a float or lifeboat was an unpaid excursion,” wrote Woodman.

While Winston Churchill acknowledged the crucial importance of the Battle of the Atlantic to national survival, it was not until 2012 that those who had served in the Arctic convoys, and had taken the highest casualties of all, were retrospectively honoured.

Born in north London, Richard was the elder son of Rosalie (nee Cann) and Douglas Woodman, a civil service administrator. Though he was far from the sea, his imagination was captured by the works of Arthur Ransome, Daniel Defoe, RM Ballantyne and Alan Villiers, and his enthusiasm nurtured by Sea Scout membership.

He was the youngest member of the Sea Scout crew that sailed the ex-German yawl Nordwind in the 1960 Tall Ships race and, despite failing all but two of his O-levels, he was accepted as an indentured apprentice with the Alfred Holt (Blue Funnel) line in 1960.

His first long trip to Australia came as a midshipman on the SS Glenarty, returning via the US: “I had been round the world before I would have been allowed inside a British pub.” Life on board ship took place in an uncompromising, all-male environment: the almost compulsory swearing, drinking and sexist banter encouraged the development of “a carapace behind which we hid our private selves”.

Woodman responded eagerly to the hands-on education in seamanship and navigation, developed his writing and sketching through the log-keeping and read his way through the excellent ships’ libraries provided by the Marine Society. He completed his four-year apprenticeship and gained his second mate’s certificate. He was, however, in love and hated saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Christine Hite, an art student, for many months at a time.

He left Blue Funnel in the mid-1960s and went to work for the Ocean Weather Service, where he discovered how vicious the North Atlantic winter weather systems could be – and how pitilessly an ex-second world war corvette would roll. Fortunately it was not long before a temporary position became available with Trinity House, the corporation charged with the maintenance of navigation marks around England, Wales and the Channel Islands.

The position became permanent; he and Christine married in 1969 and settled in Harwich, Essex, near the Trinity House east coast depot, and he served the corporation for most of the rest of his life.

The work at sea was varied, challenging, sometimes dangerous. Precise navigation, seamanship and attention to detail were essential qualities, but Woodman also found time to write. His first novel, The Eye of the Fleet, was published in 1981. This introduced a series of 14 adventures featuring the young Nathaniel Drinkwater, a hero somewhat in the Horatio Hornblower mode but bearing the unmistakable stamp of a writer who was also a sailor.

Despite his professional career being in motorised vessels, Woodman loved traditional gaff-rigged yachts, particularly his own Kestrel and then Andromeda, in which he and Christine explored the east coast rivers and beyond. The action of his nautical novels often turns on neat, seamanlike manoeuvres as well as including varied and closely observed seascapes.

His productivity was astonishing. He often wrote two or three novels a year and soon added non-fiction to his output. When he became captain of Trinity House Vessel Patricia, he achieved this by having two desks, one from which he could conduct official business, the other hidden behind a door, with a page from the work in progress always ready in the typewriter.

Meanwhile, in his job he was extremely focused, conscientious and painstaking. Although some remember him as being of the “old school”, Jill Kernick, the first woman in almost 500 years to work at sea for Trinity House, credits him with helping her break through traditional barriers in the early 80s.

In 1997 Woodman retired to write full time, but was soon elected a Younger Brother of Trinity House, and then an Elder Brother, the first time a former employee was accorded this honour. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2003 but there was no let-up in his work rate. His last completed novel, A River in Borneo (2022), harks back to 60s Indonesia but sets its final scene in a Colchester hospice.

He is survived by Christine and their children, Abigail and Edward, and grandson, Arlo.
