I wish I could make it along but work prevents me. It's a real pity as I've met Don a few times now and he's a lovely guy. He will make an excellent speaker and I encourage everyone to go along if they can.

We don't get that many astronauts or cosmonauts visiting the UK and it is only down to organisations like InspireSpace and Spaceboosters that we get the opportunity to meet them.

Hopefully I can make it. Great to have these opportunities in the UK!

Will there be a possibility to have Don sign anything at the event?

Great event. Lovely to see plenty of youngsters in the audience too, who I am sure were inspired by a superb lecture.

Don is a really friendly engaging guy, and a Pink Floyd fan too!

Well done to Nick and Bryar and "The Team."
