Imagine this: a human literally stepping out of a spacecraft for the first time, floating in the vacuum of space. It sounds like a sci-fi movie scene, but nope, it was real. For 12 minutes, he was the farthest human from Earth, opening a new chapter in the history of space exploration.
The impact of this achievement was monumental in the Digital Creative Economy because it inspired generations of artists, filmmakers, and game developers to imagine worlds beyond our planet. Without this milestone, who knows if movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey or games like Elite: Dangerous would have been created in the same way? It sparked the desire to explore, create, and represent the unknown in our narratives and digital works.
