It’s a new trend among yacht makers to steer awar from conventional designs that have become just a little over common. Porsche Design Group is one of them for being amng the first one to create a dreamboat that looks like a spacecraft. This little feat was achieved in collaboration with the Singapore-based megayacht builders Royal Falcon Fleet.

The ’spaced’ out new superyacht has been dubbed RFF135 and it comes equipped with nothing but sheer luxury. There is a helipad, suken pool on the deck, a Jacuzzi and what not. You just have to think of the exotic luxury requirements and you will find them all here. And all of this has been done very tastefully so!

The historic landing on moon and that famous moment when the stripes and stars unfurled on lunar surface is an image that is etched in the memory of humanity (thanks largely to television, which played it over and over). It seems now that there are more than a few takers for some of the artifacts and items that travelled on the Apollo 11 to accomplish that monumental feat. Most of these collectibles will go under the hammer very shortly and the expected price for these is sure to have many interested in the bidding.

Steve Fossett has passed away but his dream survived in the hands of his friend Graham Hawkes who recently completed the mammoth task that Steve had started but unfortunately could not complete. Steve was working to create a machine that would fly as well as dive- a flying submersible!
The deisgn was supposed to reach a depth of some 36,000 feet below the ocean’s surface. Graham Hawkes has created history by completing “Deep Flight Challenger”, which is a 3-in-1 mix of a spacecraft, an airplane and a submarine.

The submersible has a length of 17 ft 8 inches, having a width of 12 ft 11 inches, and a height of 5 ft, 7 inches. It weighs a total of 4730 lbs, and has a life support of twenty four hours.
It is one of the most technologically advanced Submersible built till now. The company has not divulged any information whether they plan to open a manufacturing unit or will sell the patent to other companies.

Since ‘40s, Germany-based industrial designer Luigi Colani was engaged in giving a revolutionary meaning to future by offering a curved, streamlined appeal to sedans and trucks, kitchens, spacecraft, furniture, and any sundry thing that he had dreamt of. You may call him a designer, but the title that befits him well is that of a “3-D philosopher,” the one coined by him. Sticking to the concept of round shape of earth and heavenly bodies, Colani wishes to follow Galileo Galilei’s philosophy and declares: “My world is also round.”

And featured above is Luigi Colani himself in his “satellite kitchen,” that was designed in 1969.

Seemingly weird, every appliance in the fully-occupied kitchenette can easily be attained by anyone sitting at the orb’s center.

Colani considers his concepts as no mere proposals, but rather responses to questions that design proposes.
