For a better sense of what we can offer, we encourage you to watch our selection of Table Art Videos. The entire model was situated in one of the company’s cavernous buildings in Las Vegas where Bigelow was busy pitching his expandable habitat to reporters like me. Halfway through the set, Tesfaye takes off the mask, to loud cheers, but the priestesses keep their veils firmly in place as the show draws inexorably towards its finale, propelled by Save Your Tears and that streaming juggernaut, Blinding Lights. The mockup of Bigelow Aerospace’s flagship space habitat module, the B330, was packed with features, but I wanted to know more about how future astronaut visitors to this proposed space station would deal with the grosser parts of being human.

We have to consider problems that no one would think about on Earth, like radiation protection, pressure differentials, and how to provide breathable air.Table Art provided the perfect Cassette Tape centre pieces and Rubik Cube seats which matched online photos/descriptions. The B330’s backbone consists of two core structures that run through the center of the cylindrical module.

And if the massive prototype to his left wasn’t a huge clue about his ambitions, he also wanted us to know that his company, Bigelow Aerospace, is eager to help build it.

The tour is titled the After Hours til Dawn tour in reference to his two most recent albums, After Hours and Dawn FM, and the stage concept is meant to be a theatrical representation of The Weeknd’s musical journey through these two hugely successful releases.

Though he eventually removed his robot mask, we still didn’t get a sense of who Abel Tesfaye really is. Avoiding the crippling temperature extremes of the moon's two-week days and nights, this location offers near-continuous sunlight for solar power, an ongoing view of Earth and access to lunar water ice deposits in adjacent permanently-shadowed craters. The study was performed in partnership with the Department of Aeronautics at MIT and US architecture, interior design, engineering and urban planning firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM).This is consistent with the list of the thirteen potential landing sites recently identified by NASA for the Artemis III mission (which included the rim of the Shackleton Crater and was based on LRO data). Bold and velvety reds along with warming spicy tipples are my go-to choices for crisp evenings and firework frolics. To me, the place seemed cramped, but I quickly learned that this was the equivalent of an open loft floor plan for space.

While the press got a tour of Bigelow’s hardware, various NASA astronauts were also checking out the goods. As the last step, the team evaluated and compared their proposal with two other recently developed (and ESA-supported) lunar habitat designs.

This week’s reds from Argentina and Australia are party-pleasing, palate-cuddling favourites that provide the perfect touch of cheery warmth on a chilly night. Because the moon is well outside Earth's protective magnetic shield for the majority of its orbit it is subject to ionising radiation from the Sun and deep space. For the company, the government funds would be a rich payday, giving Bigelow the resources it needs to build and launch a working habitat into deep space. Whatever, it all looks suitably awe-inspiring, and when the flames, lasers and smoke kick in, it gives plenty of bang for the young bucks and buckettes. Nevertheless, there are many questions about how humans will live in lunar conditions and what type of facilities will be needed.
