Before you sign up for any mission to Mars, be prepared to say goodbye to the concept of the bedroom as you know it.

On Mars, as in outer space generally, it would be an unimaginable luxury to have a big bed with a thick mattress and a heavy comforter. Given the exorbitant cost of sending things to Mars and the constraints of the cramped habitats we’re likely to build there, we’ll need a whole new set of design principles for furniture and interior spaces on the red planet.

Ikea on Mars
