The branch of technology and industry concerned with both aviation and space flight.
Coined in the 1950s by combining 'aero-' (from Greek 'aer' meaning air) and 'space.' The term emerged as aviation technology advanced to the point where the distinction between atmospheric and space flight became relevant for engineering and policy.
This word represents humanity's boldest ambitions compressed into eight letters—the dream of conquering both sky and cosmos. Created during the Space Race, it reflects a moment when the impossible became engineering problems, bridging the ancient dream of flight with science fiction becoming reality.
