Before it reaches the ground some chemical or biblical shift has occurred, creating conglomerates of cells for feathers, knobby legs & feet, beady eyes...

At the first look of spacecollective I was mesmerized and said to myself: "I want to be a part of this" I still look at the videos, ideas and projects like a child discovering a brand the new world full of possibities. I'm felling the future today. All of you inspire me!
