A celebration of space exploration told through the visual imagination of great dreamers from the sixteenth century to the present day.

The universe is alluring and mysterious. A place of wonder and terror. We know it’s under no obligation to make sense to us, and yet . . .

Space Journal is a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos, and our efforts to reach it, from the seventeenth century to the present day. Dallas Campbell weaves together priceless archival memorabilia, revolutionary experiments and spectacular scenes to map both real and potential encounters with our celestial backyard.

From Galileo’s shopping list to speeches annotated in President John F. Kennedy’s own hand, from The War of the Worlds to Space Invaders, Campbell sets out the radical thinkers and doers who have launched us towards the final frontier.

Dallas Campbell has presented some of the most ambitious landmark series across the BBC, such as City in the Sky with Dr Hannah Fry and Stargazing Live with Dara Ó Briain and Brian Cox, which included broadcasting astronaut Tim Peake's historic live launch to the International Space Station and was nominated for a BAFTA. Dallas is a regular contributor to the BBC's science magazine Focus, The Times's Eureka magazine and has written for the Observer. He also presents the Patented podcast, which explores the history of inventions, and is the author of Ad Astra.
