I match my love of science fiction with a love of astronomy: I love my telescope(…s), and I love reading about space exploration history, and I love new developments in astronomical science. So Jason Collins’ essay is totally up my alley, and I hope it will likewise appeal to all of you. In his essay, Collins explains the upcoming Africa2Moon mission, and how it reflects the concerns and ideas of Africanfuturism literature. There are a few essays looking at Africanfuturism and Afrofuturism coming up across this year, so this essay is a great way to start us off.
