Les archives de la conquête spatiale contredisent pourtant cette fable. Loin du rêve humaniste, ses objectifs sont avant tout militaires, dès les premières expérimentations des ingénieurs nazis bientôt reconvertis dans l'aérospatiale aux États-Unis pour mener de front la course à la Lune, aux satellites et aux missiles. Dans le sillage des space enthusiasts au sein des gouvernements et des armées, une puissante industrie s'est développée, surfant sur le marché des télécommunications et de la surveillance, spéculant sur les projets d'expansion cosmique les plus farfelus.
