Space Architecture is not just confined to the extraterrestrial. Guest‐Editor Neil Leach describes how the burgeoning space tourism industry and cultural buildings dedicated to the legacy of space exploration are potentially leading to more earthbound space structures. Here, Leach profiles Foster + Partners' Spaceport America in the Jornada del Muerto desert, New Mexico, and Bevk‐Perovi, Dekleva‐Gregori, OFIS arhitekti and SADAR+VUGA's Cultural Centre of European Space Technologies (KSEVT) in Vitanje, Slovenia.
