week 9


Visual arts has always been on the cutting edge of meager cultural. Within the story telling they push the boundaries of space travel and technology. Movies such as gravity offer a creative illustration of real life science.  Space movies indulge our imaginations as we reflect to the outer limits prompting our own creativity and inventiveness. Our minds conjure thoughts about what may exist beyond what we see, and movie art continually pushes the limits of these imageries.  Development of places like the International Space Station began from this.  The international space station combines the arts of science, technology, and the concept of nanotechnology. 

The international space station is one of NASA’s the most powerful development, as it will further develop technology and robotics.  The leading research now in space expiration is nanotechnology, making big things small. According to research nanotechnology could lead to robots you can hold on your fingertips, a new evolution of self -healing space suits and many other devises. The innovation of nanotechnology beginning with space exploration will eventually have an impact on society, both economically and culturally.    There is further research on how nanotechnology could produce products that will be able to be used for advances in the medical field, and computer science technology.

    Hey Jake,
    I agree that it is interesting how the exploration of a large unknown, is being assisted by the smallest technology we have: nanotech. Additionally, cultural depictions of space in movies does indeed have a large impact on how most people view space. It's exciting that space is still a topic that is continued to be explored not only in cinema but artwork. This gives me hope that in the future we will not worry so much about petty domestic conflict here on earth.

    Hi Jake,

    I really like your example of Gravity since it is such a recent film. It's interesting how all the information that has been collected so far concerning space influenced all the details and storyline of this film. Also, I liked how you brought up space stations and how NASA has been further this research. Hopefully we'll be alive long enough to see technology advance that far.
