Space—a new cosmos, to be continuously explored by Humans. But to succeed, we must first invent a way of living, in this inhospitable environment. What are the challenges of life in space? Practical challenges as well as emotional. Questions raised, to all those designing the space adventure. The Milano Design Film Festival Greece, in collaboration with Institut français de Grèce, suggest you explore this topical theme, for the duration of two eventful nights.

Fly out to space. It’s the dream that came true for Thomas Pesquet when he took off from the Baïkonour Cosmodrome. 450 kilometers away from Earth, during six months when the world seems to tip into the unknown, a dialogue emerges between the astronaut and the visionary work by Saint Exupéry that he brought to the space station.
