Much discussion is given over to the timey-wimeyness of Doctor Who, but not so much to the Tardis’ ability to zip through space as well as it does through time.
In the Doctor Who future humans colonise space and live happily on distant planets (New Earth) and in space stations (The End of the World), travelling the galaxy aboard all kinds of ships (42) and even sitting on the edge of black holes (The Impossible Planet). Doctor Who has presented many different potential habitats for folk to live in and ways for them to get off the third rock from the Sun.
But just how close is the science fiction to the science fact, and what would it take to work, travel and live in space?
Find out from my chat with Deep Space Industries' Rick Tumlinson and Virgin Galactic's George Whitesides over on The Register.
