There’s a new 9,000-square-foot, 3-story spaceship called “Second Solar” which has just been constructed in the German city of Böblingen. Second Solar is designed to travel to distant solar systems and research inhabitable environments. It’s loaded up with “giant engines, a thermal shell to protect the crew and landing runners designed to cope with unknown surface conditions.”
Sounds intense.
Oh, and it was designed for children.
The whole thing is an interactive exhibit designed by Different Futures for the Sensapolis fun park, and it looks absolutely nuts (in a good way). Inside there’s a 3D theater, a lab, an alien breeding ground (ok thats a bit weird), a medical center and a warp-core, whatever the hell that is.
It’s the kind of thing that I would have killed to go run around and play with when I was a kid. All I had back in the day when some swirly slide that a bunch of dopers and degenerates probably pissed down. OK, who who am I kidding, I’d love to run around this thing right now. The only thing that would make it cooler would be if it could actually launch us off to outer space!
