2013-02-06 Astronaut Tim Peake visits SAS

Over 150 of us enjoyed a great talk in Sheffield University’s magnificent Firth Hall from the first British ESA astronaut, Tim Peake. He told us about the life and the tough training of an astronaut and how the future of manned space exploration may develop. Several schools and student groups attended and we all learned a lot about the finer detail of being on the ISS.  More information about Tim can be found on Wikipedia and an interesting interview can be found here.
