Flying Through Space 

John Conrad Berkey made this painting, Flying Through Space, with no date given. It is an illustration that encapsulates the boundless dreams of space exploration. Berkey's vibrant work is not just about the thrill of discovery, it also makes us think about who gets to be part of that adventure. Whose narratives are being told? Who is at the helm, and whose stories remain untold? It challenges us to imagine a future where space is not just another frontier for conquest, but a realm where diverse voices and perspectives shape our journey among the stars. These images offer a glimpse into a future that is both exhilarating and fraught with questions about our role in the cosmos, and the need for inclusivity as we venture beyond our earthly home.
