Shagadelic baby! I hope they can get the folks who put together Encounter at LAX to handle the interiors for the spaceport terminal.
I have to wonder though. Is 21st century space travel already a post-ironic retro event? Most of these private space efforts have been kick-started by memories of old “Man Into Space” documentaries and irritation at NASA’s endless stream of broken promises, so I shouldn’t be surprised that “the future” as it’s being constructed now resembles the future as we remembered it being. Nostalgia, but nostalgia for events that haven’t yet occurred. It’s an odd sense of temporal displacement, like going from the classic ’60s Mustang to the current retro-Mustang without all the stuff in between. All those Derek Meddings and Roger Dean designs were supposed to be art, not actual blueprints.
i like it. I’ll bet the folks on the ISS are jealous.
