Today we published the next book in our Life Beyond program to get the Scottish prison population to design settlements in space. Life Beyond 2 is the first long-term human exploration and settlement strategy for the Moon to be developed by prisoners. They also did some fantastic artwork, which you can see in there. You can get it on Amazon. Proceeds go to space education projects at the British Interplanetary Society. The first book - Life Beyond: From Prison to Mars - is also available.
