In 2024, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launched the Polaris Dawn mission from historic Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Dragon and the Polaris Dawn crew spent five days in orbit. Reaching the highest Earth orbit ever flown, through portions of the Van Allen radiation belt. A series of experiments with the aim of better understanding the effects of spaceflight and space radiation on human health were carried out. At approximately 700 kilometres above the Earth, the crew realised the first-ever commercial extravehicular activity (EVA) with SpaceX-designed extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits. Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require thousands of spacesuits.

A Collector's Piece - Limited to just 210 editions, "The launch of the Falcon rocket creates a shock wave that is an invisible ring which passes over its tubular body in flight. I have taken this data and translated it into a frequency that is passed through the frame of the GO Chair, creating 4 distinct polarised focus points in each corner of the seat" - Ross Lovegrove.
