An investigation in the form of a great illustrated story that recounts and reviews the behind-the-scenes stakes of the revival of space conquest.

Obsolete futures. That which space conquest tells us about the future goes back to the origins of our fantasies about space to question our quest for freedom in outer space. It also tackles the promises of "astropreneurs" when it comes to the right, the physical limits imposed by space, or even the absurdity of their economic models that are supposed to turn the exploitation of celestial bodies into inexhaustible deposits of riches for our societies.
