Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization

Humans are not native to the Earth. So posits astronautical engineer Bob Zubrin in the opening of Entering Space. We're native to just a small sliver of it, the spot where our species originated in tropical Kenya. We set out from that paradise about 50,000 years ago, north into "the teeth of the Ice Age," and all the ground we've gained since then has been thanks to our tenacity and our tools.

The spiritual leaders of ancient cultures used a combination of beating drums and flickering firelight to induce trance states of consciousness. Using primitive instruments combined with the human voice, they created powerful, complex musical forms and sonic textures for spiritual and physical healing, entering deep states of meditation, and creating rituals of sensual pleasure. Just as in ancient ceremonies these soundtracks help induce altered states experiences.
