      Hi @874nch28 and @948nch28,

      I am very ambitious and I always want to be challenged. I think I realised quite quickly into my Masters degree that there were always going to be questions to answer within the space science field, so it drew me in, because I love trying to figure out answers! I feel like I will never get bored, as there are always going to be solutions we need to find to problems, especially in terms of how to keep astronauts safe with longer duration missions. Besides space is coooooooool… who wouldn’t want to help with space missions?!

      Space is exciting. It’s unknown. It’s useful to us down here. It’s just a really cool thing that humans are able to send machines and themselves into it. It’s exploration of the modern age.

      Space missions represent the best of our technology and ambition.
