IN CONVERSATION WITH SPACE PERSPECTIVE’S DAN WINDOW
designboom speaks with dan window, space perspective’s head of experience design, about the features of the neptune capsule before it takes off in 2025, setting the record for the most people taken to the edge of space. more than 100 layouts were explored before finalizing the spherical capsule's overall dimensions in order to maximize the interior flow while meeting technical requirements. ‘spacecraft design is highly technical and engineered, with a strong emphasis on meeting specific requirements,' window tells us. 'unlike car design, which heavily focuses on exterior styling, our role is to ensure the capsule looks its best while meeting stringent engineering demands.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
