We are all explorers
We are all explorers at heart. The quest for space reaches deep into each of us. From the first steps on the Moon more than 50 years ago we have dreamed of the first steps on Mars and beyond.
The future of space exploration is accelerating with plans to return humans to the Moon by 2024 and Mars soon after. But space is not reserved for an elite few. We all want to go, and many of us just might get that chance.
In Your Space Journey we interview the key individuals and leaders who are leading us into the amazing future of space exploration. Come along with us and share your space journey.
