      I think all the projects are important to the person that suggested them.

      So rather than being more important than others my project is something important to me. This is because there is research that shows that very young children give up on perusing a STEM career often because of feedback they hear from parents or on television/ online. I think we should encourage young people to study and become whatever they choose to be, but if someone has decided before they get to secondary school they can’t do maths or science, it is very hard to reengage them as they get older.

      The International Space Station is the most important project in humanspaceflight because it is the only one 😀
