Description
The "Adults Views of Children in Space collection" portrays the views of child space exploration by adults from 1959 to 1969 during the Space Craze in America. These views are all collected from mass media sources, television shows and songs, produced by adults for a large scale audience. Some items in the collection depict children in space directly, but most do not directly show children exploring space. While they differ in how they depict children in space, all reveal either an explicit or implicit window into adults views regarding children space exploration.
