'Full of fascinating insights into the history and future of space travel' Lord Foster, Founder of Foster + Partners

With humanity now venturing beyond Earth - living on space stations and eyeing the Moon and Mars - space architecture is taking centre stage.

Jonathan Morrison, The Times' architecture correspondent, embarks on a thrilling journey to uncover how we design for life beyond our planet. From Soviet space stations to the ISS and upcoming lunar bases, he traces the evolution of space habitats while revealing their roots in sci-fi and extreme Earth environments like Antarctic bases.

With insights from astronauts, engineers, and space tourism pioneers, Morrison explores bold designs, sustainable tech, and the rise of orbital hotels and Martian colonies. His ultimate question: how do we not just survive - but thrive - in space?
