Space.

The final frontier. These are not the quotes you are looking for so you can turn off that StarTrek theme song currently spinning in your head. Also, in case you see Alec Guinness in front of your mental eye right now, that’s because we tricked you twice.

The year 2019: Space Probe Force is hitting the world with a giant bang!

And nobody heard it.

So let’s circle back three years earlier. The setting, Medellín. A hot and humid Colombian summer. The scene, two of the Polynoids, sitting and sweating in an apartment, drinking Pilsen, smoking weed and drawing up papers, characters and sketches of this concept called SPF. An idea of a voyage of three astronauts and their discoveries in space, specifically strange alien species. They called it Space Probe Force. Yes. After their return to Berlin, they kind of locked themselves into a room and frantically started developing something that the rest of us did not really know much about. And since this writer is not one of them, this is where details go to die and this chapter abruptly ends.

Anyways, fast forward three years later. After what seemed from the outside like some enthusiastic and highly free-spirited filmmaking and still not too much more public information, an episode or teaser was finished, called “Gravity Push”. The plan was either to use this as a jumping-off point for promoting a larger scale concept, or it was PR for an NFT universe, although NTF’s hadn’t been invented yet. Or it was to educate us all on gravity.

What we do know is that there was an impressive amount of creativity and uniquely awesome ideas exuding and exploding and erupting out of the creators. But as it sometimes goes with a great vision, it wasn’t its time yet. Perhaps a key component might have been missing to help propel it forward and out of its own chaotic maelstrom of awesomeness. Which SPF is happy to stay in, soak in a hot bath of wild alien designs and planetary dreams and wait for its day to come.

Still in the IP pipes, Blue Marble and a robot bear.
