Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Spätestens seit Tech-Milliardäre den Weltraum als neue "Frontier" und unendlichen Wachstumsmarkt entdeckt haben, sind Raumfahrt und "Space Colonies" wieder in aller Munde. In seinen zwischen 2013 und 2023entstandenen Essays entwirft Ralo Mayer vielschichtige Erzählungen, die Szenarien des menschlichen Lebens im All mit irdischen Realitäten in Beziehung setzen. Parallel zu Mayers künstlerischen Arbeiten kreisen die Texte um das künstliche Ökosystem Biosphere 2 als Experiment jenseits der Trennung von Natur und Kultur, spekulieren über den Ursprung des ersten Designs einer rotierenden Raumstation im Wien der 1920er, folgen seiner Suche nach einem futuristischen Turm der EXPO'72 als Inspiration einer Hippie-Weltraum-Arche, oder erzählen von einer pharmazeutischen Annäherung an zukünftiges Asteroid Mining.In the mid-1970s, NASA dropped the use of the term space colony in favor of the ostensibly more neutral "Space Settlements". In this collection of essays, artist Ralo Mayer outlines a multitude of differing and complementary approaches exploring human scenarios to live outside our planetary atmosphere and gravity, and their unsettling relation to rather earthly realities. Oscillating between fact, fiction, personal experience, and narrative and economic speculation, Mayer's storytelling delineates sites on and off Earth as plots in which outer space becomes apparent as concurrently alien and all-too familiar.
