Space Sex Pods, Radical Design, and What Katy Perry Has to Do With All of It

What do Durex, disabilities, and the International Space Station have in common? This podcast goes there.

In this deep (and seriously fun) conversation on Popcorn with Lior Frenkel, I dive into what it means to be an Earth & Space Architect in a world that’s changing at the speed of light. We talk about how a sleep pod for astronauts turned into a $30M moonshot about intimacy in space (yes, really), and how designing for the edge - for extreme environments, other planets, and future societies - teaches us everything we need to know about living better here on Earth.

From Katy Perry’s space flight without astronauts, to amputee astronauts outperforming the “norm,” to the truth about privacy (or lack of) in microgravity... this episode is full of future-now provocations. I also share some of what we explore at theZISO - blending radical design, science, and foresight to imagine and build what doesn’t exist yet.

It’s in Hebrew, but the futures we unpack are universal.

Listen if you're curious about: How systems break and why that’s where design begins | Sex, sleep, and embodiment in space | Startups that straddle Earth and orbit | What it takes to disrupt your own thinking | Why space isn’t an escape - it’s a feedback loop

Bonus: I pulled a few thought-snaps from the episode and translated them to English (below). Because sometimes you need to see the future to feel it.
