Artificial intelligence, virtual reality visors...when will intergalactic travel take place?
Space Life is a science fiction webcomic set in an indefinite future on a small spaceship traveling the cosmos. On board the spaceship we find Tom, an astronaut we always see with a suit and helmet and AL, the voice of an artificial intelligence. Welcome to spaceship Beagle 5. Sit back and enjoy following Tom and AL on an extravagant adventure among the stars. Try to find countless references to famous and little-known jewels from sc-ifi, nerd and pop culture.
The story of the universe's interplanetary journey "SpaceLife" begins in the heart of the 1940s, when mankind gazed in wonder at the night sky and wondered about the existence of unknown worlds beyond Earth. What seemed only fantasy and imagination would turn into an extraordinary reality over the next nine hundred years. This is the story of how humanity overcame its limitations and reached for the stars.
Chapter 1: The First Steps
During the 1940s and 1950s, the space race among Earth's superpowers had just begun. The United States and the Soviet Union were challenging each other in the development of rockets and satellites. This heated competition accelerated technological progress, leading to the launch of the first satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit in 1957. From then on, space exploration became a priority for many nations.
Professor Robert Anderson has recently been reevaluated for his contributions that, in the 1940s were almost ridiculed by his more famous colleagues at Princeton, where he taught for 28 years.
Chapter 2: The Technological Revolution.
In the 1960s and 1970s, humanity made enormous advances in aeronautics and space engineering. NASA launched the Apollo program, which would put humans on the moon for the first time in history. In 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on lunar soil, making a giant leap for mankind. This unprecedented achievement provided proof that human space exploration was possible.
Chapter 3: Beyond the Solar System
As humanity explored our Solar System, curiosity about worlds beyond it steadily grew. In the 1990s, space telescopes such as the Hubble began to unlock the secrets of the cosmos, opening our vision to distant galaxies and extrasolar planets. In 1995, the first exoplanets were discovered, unleashing a wave of excitement in the scientific community and paving the way for a new era of exploration.
The work of Professor Benjamin Monroe of Columbia University in New York went unnoticed until it was taken up by Dr. Satoshi Nakamura
Chapter 4: The Japanese Turn.
By 2035, humanity had reached a momentous turning point in interplanetary travel. The young, brilliant and dreamy Dr. Satoshi Nakamura, a Japanese scientist, would play a key role in this breakthrough. After completing his studies at the University of Tokyo, Nakamura had focused on aerospace engineering and the design of advanced propulsion engines.
Nakamura, realized an innovative propulsion technology called the "Magnetic Fusion Engine" officially kicked off intergalactic travel.
