Life Beyond: From Prison to Mars

Edited by Prof. Charles Cockell

Life Beyond’ is a project to enable the prison population to make a contribution to the exploration and settlement of space. This report contains several studies of Martian settlements conducted by learners in two Scottish prisons, HMP Glenochil and HMP Edinburgh. The project was developed by the University of Edinburgh’s UK Centre for Astrobiology and it is part of the Scottish Prison Service’s Learning & Skills programme. Prof Charles Cockell, the Project Director, explains: The point of the ‘Life Beyond’ project is very simple – from behind the boundaries of a prison, you can direct humanity to the stars.
