Lecture: History of Spaceflight & Space Ships

We will be joined remotely by Space Architect Kriss Kennedy from NASA's Johnson Space Center to discuss a historical array of space habitats past and present, including his work on the design for the "TransHab," a deployable habitat for transit between earth and mars.

  • How much of the space is constrained by the outer form? Even with a deployable system?
  • What kinds of spaces have traditionally been designed for astronauts?
  • What kinds of spaces SHOULD BE designed?
  • What spatial qualities should be radically reconsidered even within tight constraints?
  • How does architecture influence the lives of the astronauts on board?
