dear designboom reader,

evolving concepts and technologies push humanity's discovery and exploration of outer space further on. vehicles such as virgin galactic's mirror-clad 'VSS imagine' spaceship III and the suborbital 'dawn MK-II aurora' provide the means of transportation to those who seek to experience space travel for themselves.

meanwhile, SOM's 'moon village' explores what it would take to extend human civilization beyond earth and establish a new settlement on the moon. last, six n. five's speculative 'what if?' project asks questions about the next steps of humankind and envisions how our homes far away could look like.

thanks for reading!
