Why explore the universe? What is happening to our planet? What would a habitat on another planet look like? As part of the Principia Mission Space Diary project – supporting ESA Astronaut Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station – Stephen Hawking asks some important questions about life on our planet, and life beyond. Produced together with author Lucy Hawking, this video accompanies Chapter Five of the Principia Mission Space Diary.
