• Question: Did you consider putting your name forward for the one way trip to mars or would the trip prove to be too much for you?

      Hi Nunn,
      I did consider that for a moment, but I decided not to do that.
      With my job, I am every day working to make it possible in the future to do two-way trips to Mars. And when humanity will do that one day, a small tiny part of that will also be thanks to me.
      I think it’s better to spend my life to achieve that, rather than sacrificing on a no-return mission 😉

      Hi nunn1977,

      I thought about it but I enjoy life here on Earth too much to give it up. I would love to go to the ISS though!

      Have you considered it?
