Thank goodness you got an entire extra day of rest this weekend. Hopefully Memorial Day included some good food with good friends and family. But today is Tuesday and we are grinding once again and the work week is in full swing.
Today, like every Tuesday, we have a list of things that won’t cost you any more that $10. Isn’t that great? Take a look at the cool things we found for you that revolve around US Space travel in today’s installment of Dollars & Sense. Enjoy!
Visit The Tom Sachs SPACE PROGRAM: MARS
The Tom Sachs SPACE PROGRAM: MARS installation was created by Sachs in collaboration with Nike and his thirteen strong studio team. They wear the Tom Sachs NIKECraft collection to man the installation, regularly demonstrating the myriad procedures, rituals, and tasks of their mission in the SPACE PROGRAM: Mars. It’s a demonstration of all that is necessary for survival, scientific exploration, and colonization in extraterrestrial environs: from food delivery systems and entertainment to agriculture and human waste disposal.
The joint venture between Tom and the Nike design team fuses, in several significant ways, the design sensibility Sachs brings to space travel in this four week mission to Mars. It uses 55,000 square feet of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall at the Park Avenue Armory, New York with an installation of dynamic and meticulously crafted sculptures, which is open to the public at the Park Avenue Armory from now until June 17th. To add, the Tom Sachs NIKECraft collection will be sold alongside signature Sachs memorabilia within a pop installation adjoining the exhibition.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Ride Your Bike Or Carpool Whenever Possible:
In many of the cities in the US it is hard to get by without a car. That said, just because you have a car does not mean you have to use it every day. Whenever possible, ride your bike or share a ride with a colleague or spouse and save both on gas and reduce the environmental footprint.
