Episode 51 - Syd Mead & The Art of "2010" (2010: The Year We Make Content)

We've got the Need for Mead...

IT'S the return of the Captain of Concept Design, Syd Mead!

There are so many fabulous illustrations in the "Art of 2010" book and no way we could fit them all in one episode.

This time, we're checking out designs for the aerobraking sequence, from detachable shields to sleeping compartments. The evolving look of the pod and the probe, the command console and main deck (with plenty of paneling and circuitry in between).

Inside the mind of a genius lie visions of the future, some of which have already come to pass. Which predictions came true, and what's next?

Plus: storyboards, sound stages, and how to build a ballute!
