Alcuni spunti:

• Come funziona una missione spaziale.
• Spazio ed inquinamento: altro che solitudine, almeno vicino alla Terra.
• Le missioni spaziali sono il top della tecnologia? in 2001 HAL era il calcolatore più avanzato disponibile, ma è veramente così? no! dato che ci vuole così tanto tempo per una missione, di solito si usa software ed hardware di venti anni prima....
• Spazio e film/musica: l'immaginario dell'esplorazione spaziale e la realtà
  • 2001 Odissea nello spazio
  • Liquid sky
  • Armageddon/deep Impact/Mission to Mars/Space cowboy
  • L'uomo che cadde sulla terra
  • Il pianeta proibito
  • Barbarella

Musica

La colonna sonora del caffescienza è ovviamente Space Oddity di David Bowie:

Ground control to major tom
Ground control to major tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to major tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may god’s love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
Four, three, two, one, liftoff

This is ground control to major tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is major tom to ground control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do

Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to major tom
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do.
