Space As The Next Frontier?

As mankind continues to ravage the planet, we find ourselves increasingly casting our gaze upwards in search of a solution, and, if need be, an escape. Could space be the answer we’re looking for? Take a look at some of this summer’s blockbusters—Elysium, After Earth, Oblivion. Outer space and what that vast expanse may or may not contain, has become a recurring theme not only in pop culture, but among artists, social innovators, entrepreneurs, and futurists as well. Journalist Maxwell Williams explores our fascination with space and contemplates it as the next frontier, with artists Tom Sachs, Michael Salvatore Tierney, and Trevor Paglen, tech activist Kosta Grammatis, Virgin Galactic’s Loretta Hidalgo, space commerce figure Peter Diamandis, host of National Geographic’s pop-science smash Brain GamesJason Silva, Buckminster Fuller Institute president David McConville, and more joining the conversation.
