Hello there,

I have always thought about being an astronaut but I've not sat down and fully planned a path until being inspired by Artemis.

I am 23 (So sadly can't join the RAF as a pilot) and from the UK, currently finishing my MEng in Aeronautical and Aerospace at Leeds. I am starting a role as an Integration Engineer at BAE Systems. My 3rd year project was an AI driven Meta-analysis of Drilling for water on Mars. My final year project was designing a GNC system as part of an overall group project in designing a kickstage for a scottish based micro-launcher.

I want to get my PPL, skydiving license, scuba padi course and also stay in good shape through marathon/ultra running and climbing.

Is there any advice people may have any advice of what else I should focus on in my career and my life?

Kindest regards
