His latest space exhibition, in Hamburg, arrives with a special collaboration with Ssense.
Over the past few years, the battle to get to space has been fought primarily between two men: Jeff Bezos, the Amazon overlord who hopes to regularly propel civilians into suborbital space with Blue Origin, and Elon Musk, the Telsa baron whose SpaceX hopes to one day colonize Mars. (Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic is in the mix, too.)
