Keeping my fingers crossed for the successful launch of Falcon 9 and the subsequent recovery of its booster rocket. The indomitable spirit of SpaceX to push forward quickly with the second launch after the Falcon 9 blow up in June last year is an inspiration. Space exploration is essential to our continued existence in the universe. From mining for resources to colonising planets and moons we are at the heels of the space age. Companies like SpaceX are the vanguard of this era with their idea of making travel into space more economical. The risk that they take with every launch is propelling us to an exciting extra planetary future. In a decade the world is going to need lots more aerospace specialists.
