Fourth edition of Cristina de Middel's photobook The Afronauts. In 1964, a Zambian science teacher named Edwuard Makuka decided to train the first African crew to travel to the Moon. His plan was to use an aluminium rocket to send a woman, two cats and a missionary into space: first to the Moon, then to Mars, using a catapult system. He founded the Zambia National Academy of Science, Space Research and Astronomical Research to begin training his Afronauts at its headquarters, just 32 kilometres from Lusaka.
