Technology - The new space race


There is now a  space race going on between several countries the aim is to develop the technology that will allow everyday people to take a trip into space. There a several different designs such as the Virgin Galactic but one of the most recent and unusual ones is called the Grass Hopper and this is a rocket with four legs that its standing on then it blasts off from the ground with little after burn and debris from the thrusters reaches its Maximum altitude then simple comes back down and lands on its feet. This not only shows the huge advancements that are happening in technology but how this will influence everything around us from Architecture right through to cars like the first space race it will start a trend and products will start look more space like and sci fi based. An old example of this is Eames Eiffel chair which draw most of its design from the french surounds such as the Eiffel Tower but its been brought up many times when looking at the chrome support under the chiar it looks almost exactly the same as the moon lander. I feel this is how it will affect the market today and new trends and common styles will become apparent and very important in every field of design not just advertising to the way we think and create things for what the user will want.
