      I’ve met a few; Helen Sharman, Alexey Leonov and Chris Hadfield.

      They all have incredible stories to tell, it’s well worth meeting an astronaut if you ever get the chance.

      Yes, quite a few and worked with some on a couple of ocassions. I support the Scottish Space School at Strathclyde University where we have NASA Astronauts come over to teach and inspire each cohort of students. I have met Tim Peake a number of times, had a great conversation with Chris Hadfield on getting more kids into science and engineering, and I did an interview with Samantha Cristoforetti in Edinburgh.
