Review

Anna Jones

On 2 November 2000, history was made: two Russians and one American entered the International Space Station or, as it is described by contributors to this programme, “a living, breathing organism that has protected my friends” and “the most expensive project ever completed by humans”.

Former international director at the UK Space Agency Alice Bunn guides us through the shifting geopolitics that saw East and West co-create a symbol of human ingenuity and collaboration.
