the Space Age is another  name for the
Age of Aquarius

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
- H.G. Wells, "The Discovery of the Future," 1901

"Harmony and understanding,
Sympathy and trust abounding.
No more falsehoods or derision,
Golden living, dreams of vision.
Mystic crystal revelations,
And the mind's true liberation.
Aquarius! Aquarius!
When the moon is in the southern half,
And Jupiter aligned with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planet,
And love will steer the stars.
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius! 
Age of Aquarius!
Aquarius! Aquarius! Aquarius! Aquarius!"

Fifth Dimension (Arista Records 1972)

"As we know from ancient Egyptian history, there are symptoms of psychic changes that always appear at the end of one Platonic month and at the beginning of another. They are, it seems, changes in the constellation of the psychic dominants, of the archetypes or "Gods" as they used to be called, which bring about, or accompany, long-lasting transformations of the collective psyche.

C G Jung 1959 AD: Flying Saucers, Introduction, pp xi - xii

Chinese New Year is a spring festival or carnaval determined by the first  night of new moon after the sun enters Aquarius

"The mystical theme of the Space Age is this:
the world as we know it, is coming to an end. The world as the center of the universe, the world divided from the heavens, the world bound by horizons in which love is reserved for members of the in-group: that is the world that is passing away. Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end. Our divided, schizophrenic world view, with no mythology adequate to coordinate our conscious and unconscious __that is what is coming to an end. The exclusivism of there being only one way in which we can be saved, the idea that there is a single religious group that is in sole possession of the truth__that is the world as know it that must pass away. What is  the kingdom? It lies in  our realization of the ubiquity of the divine presence in our neighbors, in our enemies, in all of us."
 Joseph Campbell

I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
- William Blake

It's human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice, really; it's an imperative.
- Michael Collins, Gemini and Apollo astronaut

Our prime obligation to ourselves is to make the unknown known. We are on a journey to keep an appointment with whatever we are.
 - Gene Roddenberry, Executive Producer of "Star Trek"

"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
- John F. Kennedy, 1962

We are at a point in history where a proper attention to space, and especially near space, may be absolutely crucial in bringing the world together.
- Margaret Mead

More on C.G. Jung & the precession of the equinoxes

 "If, as seems probable, the aeon of the fishes is ruled by the archetypal motif of the hostile brothers, then the approach of the next Platonic month, namely Aquarius, will constellate the problem of the union of the opposites. 

 It will then no longer be possible to write off evil as the mere privation of good; it's real existence will have to be recognized.  This problem can be solved neither by philosophy,  nor by economics, nor by politics, but only by the individual human being, via his experience of the living spirit...
C G Jung 1951 Chapter IV, The Sign of the Fishes

The northerly, or easterly fish, which the spring-point entered at about the beginning of our era⁸³, is joined to the southerly, or westerly, fish by the so-called commissure.  This consists of a band of faint stars forming the middle sector of the constellation, and the spring-point gradually moved along its southern edge.  The point where the ecliptic intersects with the meridian at the tail of the second fish coincides roughly with the sixteenth century, the time of the Reformation, which as we know is so extraordinarily important for the history of Western symbols.  Since then the spring-point has entered the southern edge of the fish, and will enter Aquarius in the course of the third millennium⁸⁴.   Astrologically interpreted, the designation of Christ as one of the fishes identified him with the first fish, the vertical one.  Christ is followed by the Antichrist at the end of time.  The beginning of the enantiodromia would fall, logically, midway between the two fishes.  We have seen that this is so.  The time of the Renaissance begins in the immediate vicinity of the second fish, and with it comes the spirit which culminates in the modern age⁸⁵.

83 The meridian of the star "O" in the commissure passed through the spring-point in A.D. 11 and that of the star "a 113" in 146 BC.  Calculated on the basis of C. H. F. Peters and E. B. Knobel, Ptolemy's Catalogue of Stars: A Revision of the Almagest, Washington, 1915.
84 Since the delimitation of the constellations is known to be somewhat arbitrary, this date is very indefinite.  It refers to the actual constellation of fixed stars, not to the zodion noeton, i.e. the zodiac divided into sectors of 30º each.  Astrologically, the beginning of the next aeon, according to the starting point you select falls between AD 2000 and AD 2200.  Starting from the star "O" and assuming a Platonic month of 2 143 years, one would arrive at AD 2154 for the beginning of the Aquarian Age, and at AD 1997 if you start at star "a 113."  The latter date agrees with the longitude of the stars in Ptolemy's Almagest, p. 199, n. 1.
85 Modern astrological speculation likewise associates the Fishes with Christ: "The fishes... the inhabitants of the waters, are firstly an emblem of those whose life being hid with Christ in God, come out of the waters of judgment without being destroyed [and illusion to fishes that were not drowned in the deluge! C. G. J.] and shall find their true sphere where life abounds and death is not: where, forever surrounding with living water and drinking from it's fountain they 'shall not perish, but have everlasting life.' ... Those who shall dwell for ever in the living water are one with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Living One."  (E. M. Smith, The Zodia,, pp. 280f, London, 1906.)C G Jung 1951 AD [for the German-language Version], Aion [published in the Collected Works 9, Part II] Chapter IV, The Sign of the Fishes: including the footnotes

Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire
by Drusilla Dunjee Houston (1876-1941) [copyright1926, no renewal] Houston believed the Cushite civilization to be the motherland of humanity. The Cushite civilization are the earliest known Black African civilization who occupied what is now the Sudan, with its capital at Meroe on the Nile. se . Reaching its peak between 1750 and 1500 B.C.E., and lasting until the fourth century C.E., the Cushite empire . At their high point, Cushites even conquered and ruled ancient Egypt from 750-650 B.C.E.

Daphne was a nymph who was turned into a laurel tree while attempting to escape the advances of the sun god Apollo.

In the present time; Apollonian thinking has been contrasted by Nietzsche and other cultural scholars like Camille Paglia with its opposite, Dionysian. Dionysus is the Greek God of Carnaval who became Bacchus in the Roman empire. Drunkenness and madness are Dionysian because they break down a man's individual character; all forms of enthusiasm and ecstasy are Dionysian, for in such states man gives up his individuality and submerges himself in a greater whole: music is the most Dionysian of the arts, since it appeals directly to man's instinctive, chaotic emotions and not to his formally reasoning mind.   These thinkers make a convincing case that the story of Western culture is the push-pull battle between these two forces and the untamed roving eye. Apollo, always surrounded by a company of beautiful young men, appears as the god of light, movement, music, civilization, healing, order, structure, and beauty. Dionysus wanders through the mountains and the forests with his female companions, the raving, blood-crazed maenads. He is the god of religious ecstasy, of deep stillness, sexual frenzy, animal nature. Mass media understands these forces and fans the flames for success and profit.

The Greeks worshipped Apollo, the god of the Sun. Sun finds its exaltation in the sign of Aries and thus its worship returned once again.

Sun worship returned among the Egyptians through the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV. Egyptian mythology - Wiki
Jews became the chosen ones for this Age with Moses laying down the guiding principles which are very much a mixture of the sign Aries and the Sign Libra, its polar opposite. The old testament is filled with warrior conquest and nomadic content for its religious history and symbolism but it most Arian concept is  the One-God Creator concept. Monotheistic Judaism won out over the golden cow through great spiritual personalities like Abraham (19th century B.C.) and Moses (13th century B.C.). The symbol of the ram (or the Passover lamb) appeared as an object of sacrifice instead of worship, as a reaction against the belief of the previous age. 

 Romans worshipped Mars along with Zeus, as the God of War. Since much of their civilization was based upon war, they had special regard for Mars above all the rest, which is the planetary ruler of Aries. It was the age of the military throughout the world.

Buddha, who had five planets in the Sign Aries at Midheaven in his chart, ushered in a new individualistic belief which did not need help of any Gods and Goddesses for attaining Nirvana, very much in keeping with Arian spirit.

Other great historical personalities heralding new beliefs include Zarathustra incarnated (7th  century ), Confucius and Lao-Tse (6th century), Socrates (5th century)  Aryan-Hinduism also shared the Aries symbolisms in their culture

The AGE of ARIES was about expansion of the Empire. Aries is A FIRE Sign, Fire radiates outward. It seems very natural then when individuals with ARIES SUN SIGNS tend to be the adventurers.

The AGE of ARIES is the age of the expanding Ancient Empires; Chinese, Persian, Greek and then Roman. Each of these civilizations sought to always bring more land and territory under their control. These Empires did so by conquering the indigenous peoples of the lands as they expanded outward.
