Everything is flying, and the modern world depends on it.
The Earth spins, the Moon orbits, and the Sun pulls us through the galaxy. But humans haven't just watched from below; we've learned to understand that motion-and put it to work.
In Everything Is Flying, Ross Hamilton reveals how human ingenuity transformed curiosity about the sky into the systems that power modern civilization. More than just the history of space exploration, this is the timeline of how orbit was harnessed and how space technology now forms the infrastructure of modern world.
You'll discover:
- How generations of thinkers and engineers turned observation into rockets, satellites, and orbital technology.
- How satellites quietly run modern life-guiding aircraft and ships, connecting the world, forecasting storms, coordinating supply chains, and supporting financial markets.
- How space became a cumulative human achievement, built step by step across centuries.
- How mastering motion beyond Earth reshaped science, economics, and geopolitics, and the choices we face about our future.
Grab your copy and join the adventure that shows that space is not just exploration out there. It is the operating system of modern civilization right here on Earth.
Look up. Everything is flying.
