This is a really good interview with Dr. Helen Sharmen. I have been aware of Helen’s achievements since 1991 and was very critical of the ‘media’ output when Tim Peake was described as the ‘first’ Briton in space, so much so I resented him! I found it very interesting in the interview at 10:50 Helen explains that it wasn’t the media’s fault, nor Tim Peake’s fault that she wasn’t given very much credit (not that she sought it) for being the first Briton in space, it was the European Space Agency, who would have thought it! Lime light on the ESA everyone!!! Dr. Sharmen holds two accolades is space, the FIRST Briton in space, and, the FIRST female Briton in space. Let us not forget the achievements of people who make it safer for others in he future. With respect.
Helen Chaman is a great astronomer on Britain,UK😊

Terrific. Space travel should be open and representative beyond outdated geopolitics. 👍:)
