ABSTRACT
Part of human psychology is to dream and to go experience different places. Most of the representations of the beginning literary and cinematic portraits of space travel and exploration contain an extraordinary intensity of anxiety and foreboding, if not the development of complete psychological breakdowns. Technically, the severity of psychological anxiety states related to the deep unknown portrayed contain within them the ridding of the emotional states of panic and terror. These uncertainties are evacuated from the depths of the person's internal world. In the cinematic versions of space exploration, frequently these paranoid anxieties are expressed as embodied into the other team members, the living milieu, or the surrounding environments. Looking at these questions about the unknown necessitates that we think about their implications in potentially new ways to take a step back from these processes to better appreciate how anxiety works, especially within the face of the absolute limits of space.
