Think about what makes you happy and what motivates you to get up in the morning, what makes you tick and what drives you. For me this is astronomy, space, physics, knowing and discovering.

I have been fascinated by space ever since I was a little kid. My mum would tell me stories and legends about the stars and distant galaxies, and I remember feeling empowered and very lucky. Lucky, both because I was brought up with love of science and because the more I learned about space, the more I realised how incredibly fortunate we all are, to be living on Earth, our little blue planet. Empowered, because I was discovering a whole new world, full of adventure and magic.

Our universe is huge, beautiful, mysterious, waiting to be understood, and our strive to know it is what pushes us to achieve more, to be more, and to do better. This is why I have decided to write about what matters to me, follow my dreams by doing this, and hopefully inspire others along the way.

 

“Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.”
