Dinosaurs and space.

Topics that have excited children's imagination for centuries and shaped the interest in science for many generations. Incredible and huge lizards personified a powerful past. The boundless cosmos - the universe beyond the Earth with its adventures and discoveries - has beckoned people for centuries.

But since the dinosaurs never managed to leave our planet, it seems like an absurd idea to imagine them as space travelers. However, as chaos theorist Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park, life will always find a way out (at least in our imagination).

Type "dinosaurs in space" or "dinosaur astronauts" into any search engine and you'll be bombarded with countless wild and unexpected images: Doctor Who's Silurians who took ancient lizards aboard a ship (episode "Dinosaurs in a Spaceship" ). In Star Trek: Voyager, the Vots are the descendants of sentient hadrosaurs that left Earth immediately after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Dinosaurs pilot spaceships in Calvin and Hobbs, a humorous comic strip by Bill Watterson.

Lesser-known similar works include Anne McCaffrey's Planet of the Dinosaurs and the space opera Captain Raptor. One of the chapters in Dinosaurs in Fiction by Allen E. Debas contains the story of lizard-like aliens called "exodinosaurs." And in 1987, the cartoon "Dinosaucers" ( Dinosaucers ) was released, whose title theme is perfect for an unofficial anthem trope about space dinosaurs.

Even scientists thought about taking the dinosaurs into outer space. Chemist Ronald Breslow discussed this concept in his 2012 study for Nature. Yes, and it is difficult to dispute the fact that the dinosaurs still managed to conquer space. True posthumously, their numerous fossils went into orbit.

So how did the concept of dinosaurs conquering space become so popular in science fiction? And why do we hope to find the ancient inhabitants of the Earth alive and well somewhere else in the galaxy?

As a longtime fan of exodinosaurs, I have been studying these issues for about ten years. And I realized one thing: the concept of space dinosaurs, which seems simple and naive at first, is in many ways a powerful projection of human fears and hopes about our place in space and time. So, for anyone who is looking for enlightenment through space dinosaurs, here is the history of this genre.

Image: Sarah Terrell

The concept of "space dinosaurs" first appeared at the end of the 19th century after the first wave of dinosaur mania swept over North America and Europe. Interest in extinct lizards was fueled by two paleontologists, Edward Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, whose paleontological rivalry involving bribery, theft, and other subterfuge is today referred to as the "Bone Wars. "

For 20 years Cope and Marsh traveled all over the American west, competing for the title of chief paleontologist. Before this war bankrupted them, rivals discovered over 130 new species.

The discovered fossils of extinct animals were donated to museums, where the public could contemplate the unimaginable proportions and amazing shapes of these extinct animals with awe and disbelief. However, in addition to the physical splendor of people, something else always attracted them.

“At the end of the 19th century, people faced massive social upheavals and a widespread scientific revolution that changed their understanding of the world order in every area of life,” says Zoe Lescaze, author of Paleoart: Visions of the Prehistoric Past.

Until now, the West believed that the Earth and all the creatures inhabiting it were created by the Lord God in seven days 6000 years ago. Dinosaurs were among those scientific discoveries that changed the chronology of time and forced people to rethink past beliefs about the age of the planet and life on it.

“I believe that people suddenly lost faith in their own fundamental importance, the guarantee of survival and the mercy of God, who with a wave of his hand could destroy his creation. Such news was hardly encouraging,” says Leskaze.

New information about the mass extinction coincided with the trend of the extermination of the species in which mankind was guilty: passenger pigeons and bison. People found fossils of extinct animals on the borders of the frontier and were surprised that a whole group of animals once simply became extinct, but at the same time continued to exterminate other species on the same land.

And when humanity nevertheless (somehow) got used to the idea that the planet was not originally intended for it, a feeling of planetary rivalry captured people. Many variations of the rivalry between dinosaurs and humans have emerged, with the former represented by terrifying monsters and the latter armed with modern weapons and a righteous sense of superiority.

After all, how else can one justify Western exploration and technology for the conquest of nature - the dominant themes in late 19th century science fiction - other than by epic battles against the literal embodiment of Earth's past?

Historian William J. T. Mitchell explored the connection between Wild West motifs and dinosaur iconography in detail in The Last Dinosaur Book ( The Last Dinosaur Book ). Dinosaurs have literally been dug up twice from the western lands for a supposed resurrection, he says. Bob Walters's illustration "The Last Recalcitrant West of the Mississippi" illustrates this process and served as the cover for Mitchell's book. There is only a small step left for the dinosaurs in space.

“Aren't the American frontier and outer space the same thing? Space is the last frontier. The American Dream comes from the 20th century,” says Mitchell.

Jules Verne placed dinosaurs underground in Journey to the Center of the Earth, Conan Doyle populated the Lost World jungle plateau with ancient lizards, and Frank Mackenzie Saville populated Antarctica. No wonder Gustav W. Pope "discovered" dinosaurs on another planet in his book A Trip to Venus ( Journey to Venus ).

“The shores were strewn with huge reptiles. Iguanodonts, megalosaurs and other pangolins floundered in the marshes and basked in the sand. The primitive world has only just begun to surprise us with its miracles, ”Pope wrote.

Pope's novel was the then-famous "delusion about dinosaurs on Venus", as described by science journalist and zoologist Ross Pomeroy. The idea that ancient lizards live on a nearby planet gained such popularity that Carl Sagan himself considered it a personal matter to debunk this myth in 1980 on the show "Space: a personal journey."

Until the middle of the 20th century, many believed that there were tropical forests on Venus, hidden under an impenetrable cloud cover, where dinosaurs lived. (By the way, this was before the Soviet satellite proved that the planet in the neighborhood is a disgusting inferno).

As in the case of the "channels on Mars", dinosaurs from Venus appeared thanks to weak telescopes. Through their lenses, astronomers could only make out subtle features of neighboring planets. The public imagination soon populated the red planet with aggressive aliens and Venus with dinosaurs.

And despite the fact that many astronomers doubted this theory long before the discovery of Soviet scientists, the fixed idea captured the imagination of many people. The producer and creator of "Dinoplanets" Michael Uslan admitted that he was inspired by the debunking of these theories when creating his exodinosaurs.

“I was born in the baby boom era and how the whole generation asked: “Who built the canals on Mars? What is hiding under the clouds of Venus? Is the ancient volcanic world inhabited by dinosaurs?” he told me over the phone.

“Science has robbed us of these theories, so we have come up with a new object of admiration. We adapted science fiction to match the discoveries that have been made in space travel, technology and paleontology."

Thus, the space dinosaur trope has evolved according to changing scientific and cultural realities over the course of a century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the genre contained a sci-fi obsession with highly developed culture and wildlife, where there was already a premonition that soon every corner on Earth would be explored and discovered.

Dinosaurs are presented as grotesque and terrible creatures in these stories in order to justify the bloodlust of human characters. Paleoart of that time emphasized their violent disposition.

“It seems to me that it was not difficult for cheap fiction to form a monster stereotype about dinosaurs. In front of you is a six-meter lizard with a hellish mouth, studded with teeth the size of a child's head. Terribly interesting. Sculpt it on the cover and in print.

Readers were crazy about the epic battles between humans and dinosaurs. In those days, hunting huge animals was a clear manifestation of the machismo characteristic of the then President Theodore Roosevelt. However, the trends have changed. Ferocious animals moved to city zoos, and in the 1940s and 1950s, the movement for the protection of nature began to gain momentum. Fictional dinosaurs, instead of being killed for sport and show of power, were caged and studied.

Released in 1933, King Kong is one of the most dramatic examples of the change in science fiction. Instead of fighting to the death with megafauna, man began to use the creatures for public spectacles. And if the gigantic monkey from Skull Island managed to escape the bars of the cage, many dinosaurs were less fortunate.

Writers rushed to invent what the world would look like if it was inhabited by dinosaurs like exotic animals.

The concept of dinosaurs from Venus was constantly encountered in the works of that time. In the March issue of Coronet magazine for 1950 contains a story called "Mr. Smith flies to Venus" ( Mr. Smith Goes to Venus ), where according to the plot, the Smith family admires the collection of one of the local fabulous attractions - the Veneropolis Zoo.

Local dinosaurs "resemble dragons" that make Mrs. Smith uneasy, according to Matt Novak in The Smithsonian. The repulsive appearance served as a justification for killing early exodinosaurs. However, the growing animal rights movement in the second half of the 20th century changed attitudes towards ancient animals.

Consider Anne McCaffrey's Planet of the Surviving Dinosaurs, which is about the fictional world of Ireth, inhabited by dino-like creatures. Exodynes are the descendants of creatures brought from Earth, but unlike their ancestors, they are endowed with intelligence. The story encourages people to treat animals with respect and understanding.

The influence of conservationists can also be seen in stories about dinosaurs brought from other planets for display in Earth's zoos. For example, in the novel 19'76 "The Offspring" ( Spawn ) directed and written by Donald Glut. According to the plot, in 2149, a mission was organized to the planet Erigon to collect alien dinosaur eggs, which will be taken back to Earth, where the animals will then play the role of inhabitants of the Dinomir reserve.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the authors were inspired by the launch of the first space stations in the USSR and the USA, so the dinosaurs moved into orbit. According to George Martin's short story "The Plague Star", a motley crew of rescuers stumble upon an abandoned spaceship, the Ark, which is packed to capacity with the embryos of the most dangerous creatures from various planets. Earth is represented by Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Lizard Tyrant" is the only human in this interplanetary freak show with monsters. However, there were also full-fledged space zoos with dinosaurs, as in the story Our Lady of the Sauropods by Robert Silverberg. Events unfold on the Dinoostrov space station, which has become home to dinosaurs bred by people. The ship's operating system crashes, and an innocent attempt to resurrect extinct animals for fun turns into chaos.

We've already seen this somewhere, haven't we? Perhaps this story served as the basis for the Jurassic Park trilogy - in particular, the episode with the bloody rampage in San Diego. “After the unfortunate incident in San Diego with tyrannosaurs, for political reasons [sic!] Dinosaurs were banned from keeping on Earth,” writes science fiction.

The story "Our Lady of the Sauropods" by Silverberg became a kind of foremother of the space dinosaur genre. The story contained a huge number of modern trends - the arrogance of people, backed up by high technology, the ethical problems of bioengineering and the fascination with the mental abilities of dinosaurs. All of these plot elements are cleverly combined to make the reader sympathize with the exodinosaur mind.

“Only a grain of knowledge of what the Mesozoic era looked like has come down to us. Just bones. In 100 million years, any traces of civilization could have disappeared. Can we assume that the dinosaurs had a language, poetry, mythology, philosophy? Or maybe love, dreams, aspirations? ”The author argues.

Similar ideas arose during the renewed interest in dinosaurs in the 60s. And as in the case of the Bone Wars, they are associated with great new discoveries in paleontology. For example, that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and fast animals, and some of their representatives could boast of relatively outstanding mental abilities.

“It seems to me that the old idea of dinosaurs as slow, stupid and doomed to extinction is hopelessly outdated. The scientific model of the second half of the 20th century taught to respect their speed, diversity and adaptability,” says Mitchell.

The story raises questions about the superiority of man over dinosaurs. At least the meteorite is responsible for the death of dinosaurs, while we can destroy ourselves without help from outside, Mitchell notes.

Perhaps one of the brightest examples of intellectually developed dinosaurs can be called the animated series "Dinoplanets" ( Dinosaucers ), which, however, was closed after the first season. The main stars of the show were anthropomorphic dinosaurs, able to "dinovolve" into their former form, and piloting spaceships, which also look ... like dinosaurs.

Producer Michael Uslan came up with the idea for the show while discussing a concept that his thirteen year old son might like. “Dinosaurs in space are the best way to attract kids. So one morning, while shaving, I just came up with the word "dinos" ( Dinosaucers ) and said to himself: "Isn't this cool?".

Here's what "it" is: there is a planet called Reptilon, which revolves around the Sun in the opposite direction, which is why it remains invisible to terrestrial astronomers. Reptilon and Earth are twin planets on which evolution took place in a similar way. However, the meteorite only fell to Earth, thanks to which the dinosaurs on Reptilon evolved into a highly advanced species that learned to travel in space. The plot follows a battle between bad tyrannos and good dinos, aided by a group of kids who call themselves "Secret Scouts".

The show took all the clichés about exodinosaurs and put them into cartoon form. The main idea is what dinosaurs would have turned into if they had not been destroyed.

As paleontologist Darren Naish noted in his article for Scientifical American, this was a kind of thought experiment inspired by the era of the 80s, and in particular Sagan's reasoning about dinosaurs with developed intelligence. Paleontologist Dale Russell, in collaboration with sculptor Ron Seguin, recreated an anthropomorphic descendant of the intelligent dinosaur Stenonychosaurus and presented it at the Dinosauroid exhibition at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Ottawa on 1982 year.

The Dino-Terrestrial series continued the trend by endowing dinosaurs with many human attributes: language, culture, organization and technological skills. For the first time, dinosaurs were portrayed as more advanced than the human race, which in its own way expanded the scope of the genre.

“I believe that some authors have chosen this path because the depiction of dinosaurs as villains or bloodthirsty monsters is boring to everyone. Over time, the audience becomes more and more fastidious, ”says Naujokatis, author of the book Dinosaurs in Space.

In addition, the concept of super-evolved space dinosaurs was reinforced by concerns about human pride, a theme also raised in the Jurassic Park franchise.

“Today our species is also threatened with extinction. That's why dinosaurs are totem animals, symbols of our species' existence. At one time they were the rulers of the entire planet. Our turn has come. And it looks like we are doing everything in order to erase ourselves from the face of the Earth, ”says Mitchell.

Dinoplanets raised environmental issues that are still of concern to their fans. A cult following has developed around the show over the past 30 years, in part due to the high demand for extremely rare toys that ceased production after the series ended. Some of them cost thousands of dollars. Writer Hans Geyer, who is working on a book about dino planets, has discovered collectible toys around the world.

“People want them because they can't find them. Very interesting. Absolutely everyone loves merch, because it causes them a sense of nostalgia, which is otherwise unattainable, says the author.

Inspired by the resurgence of interest in the show, Uslan started work on a new dino comic that, like the original cartoon, will try to keep up with the scientific discoveries of our time. For example, dinosaurs with feathers will appear, and the topic of climate change will also be covered.

Again, the idea of dinosaurs in space is more like a meme based on childhood hobbies, but it is also a reflection of our modern society.

“Old times and the distant future have always seemed incomprehensibly alien to people living in the present. None of us has seen prehistoric times and none of us knows what will happen in the future, so we are able to realize our wildest fantasies by connecting these two time periods,” says Lescaze.

Dinosaurs have gone through three stages in fiction: frontier icon, zoo curiosity, intellectual equal to man. And everyone with whom I talked, interpreted these paths in their own way.

“Frankly, I think it all comes down to how cool the dinosaurs themselves are. Almost everyone loves dinosaurs,” says Naujokatis.

Tim Uslan associates the appearance of space dinosaurs with a "sense of magic". Geyer told me that dinosaurs and space are "topics that have stood the test of time." “Knowing that we have the power to explore any topic seems limitless,” he says.

Mitchell views the trope through an anthropocentric lens. “Why did people invent space dinosaurs? For the same reasons they invented aliens. First, if the aliens are hostile, then we will have someone to blame for our destruction; secondly, if they are friendly, they will teach us how to correct our mistakes and survive.”

According to Lescaze, these creatures have one "outstanding quality". “If there are dinosaurs in space, then what is stopping us. It is possible that on the verge of extermination and the deep horror that it contains, there is a place for hope. Perhaps this is what dinosaurs will captivate us with,” she says.

Ultimately, dinosaurs in space are an ever-evolving discourse about human life, reflecting our desires and fears. In themselves, they are stupid, naive and fantastic, but this is the key to understanding our collective psyche. So to understand a society, look at the dinosaurs in space it invented.
