Question: Why did you enter this competition?

I was asked to and thought it would be a great opportunity to speak to students. It’s important to return the favour and get students interested in space, as I was. Especially in Ireland where there isn’t the same space presence as in other countries, so it might not seem like a feasible option to work in space for a student but it very much is.
