SpaceX's futuristic Starship interplanetary craft may embody the golden age of sci-fi in more ways than one: in addition to (theoretically) taking passengers from planet to planet, it may sport a shiny stainless steel skin that makes it look like the pulp covers of old.
|
|
Such vanguard characters can trace their genesis to early champions of Afrofuturism, paramount among them Sun Ra, the jazz composer, poet and philosopher who incorporated sci-fi themes into his music and his seminal film, "Space Is the Place," a mid-1970s tale of interplanetary time travel.

The conference website describes it as a "gateway through which attendees can gain knowledge and the most up-to-date research on UFOs, ancient aliens, human origins, crop circles, government disclosure, extraterrestrial visitation, interplanetary living, contact and abduction experiences, and the 'need to know'"—a hotel buffet of the paranormal.
|
|
It's perhaps counter-intuitive that Elon Musk is talking about the next iteration of his company's rocket on the evening following his latest design's very first flight, but the company has always had its eye on what comes next, and BFR is the real key to unlocking Mars and interplanetary transportation.
