For the pioneers and gunslingers of the Wild West, the frontier was the edge of civilisation, where town met wilderness, and where law and order met rugged resistance. In modern times, the frontier is upwards, not westwards, with outer space now considered the last limit to push. To some people on some mornings, the front door might seem like the final, and furthest, frontier.

This Yarn, we’re exploring tales of final frontiers, be they about space, cowboys, or space cowboys. Come hear personal stories of exploration and pioneering, outlaws and heroes, and of crossing the final barriers into the wild unknown.
