Inspired By NASA's Space Program. Garrett Finney's FireFly. An Ultra Compact Alloy Camping Trailer That Looks More Like A Luna Module...

Keen eco-camper and lateral thinker Garrett Finney worked for NASA designing living quarters for the International Space Station and he had a dream of a tiny camper that could fit on the back of any conventional pick-up truck.
That could be used as a disaster relief living pod and be towed by any small car.
And so the minimalist and miniscule recreation camper called FireFly weighing a mere six hundred pounds was conceived, went through a fairly fast incubation period and then forming a company called Taxa and bringing the talents of Brian Black and Evan Twyford on board brought the idea from concept stage to a reality.
There's more about Garret's FireFly here.
It's not a giant leap for man but it is a step in the right direction...
