“Space belongs to all - I am motivated by this theme to bring new and revolutionary ideas to connect interested people who have had little or no involvement with space activities. To that end, I travel to give talks and trainings for universities and their faculties as well as hold meetings with specialists from different industries. My research aims to close the gap between people and Outer Space concepts and its technology to map the steps towards creating a better, new multi-planetary society”
