Intergalactic SpaceCraft for a Celestial Mechanics Symposium

Marilyn Jones

26 July - 22 August 2021

Enough of this crazy world! I’m planning to escape on a flight of fancy to a Celestial Mechanics Symposium; date: tbd, destination: somewhere in outer space beyond Te Māngōroa, mission: investigating the parallel planes of inner and outer space.  

Here is a maquette of the SpaceCraft I’ve designed for my adventure, along with a bean bag for luxury seating. The frame of the SpaceCraft is a physical thing, mostly solid. The volume of the bean bag mirrors the void within the frame, and the pattern pieces used to clad the SpaceCraft are reversed for the bean bag. 

I am yet to undertake a trial flight. My Craft will aid me in my exploration of space.

Wish me luck.
