"For instance, there is no exploration of outer space in Ballard’s fiction: there are no robots or supercomputers, and the scientist characters who continue to populate his novels are usually extremist cranks."

Ballard wrote at least four stories dealing with space and spaceflight. Most notable is his "Report on an Unidentified Space Station" which is quite haunting.

I highly recommend "Memories of the Space Age".

Wasn't there one called "the Message from Mars". If I remember the astronauts didn't want to come out of their capsule when they returned to Earth.
