      Hi Simran,
      I had a very hard decision to make to stay for an extra year at ESA while my husband was in the UK. In the end I’m glad I made it, even though it was hard because I got to do lots of new and interesting things, like looking after the physiology science programme at Concordia, which is a research base in Antarctica. As grown-ups we need to make decisions all the time, luckily some of them are easy though- like deciding to volunteer for I’m an Atronaut or if I’m going to have ice cream for pudding 🙂

      I had to decide to stay a Mining Engineer in Australia (which I was very good at and I loved as a job) or take a chance and fly on a one way plane to the other side of the Earth to sit interviews for the ISS Flight Control and change to be a Space Engineer.
