We had great fun recording the session together with Ralph Timberlake at the British Interplanetary Society, who celebrate their 80th anniversary this year, where I got to talk about my methane detection experiment, MEDIAN, which will be running as part of the Austrian Space Forum’s Mars analogue mission in Morocco this month.

Tim then went on to give an evening’s talk at the BIS, about his experiences on the NEEMO mission and other training. He graciously answered audience questions, and then Alistair Scott, President of the BIS, gave him a certificate of honorary membership with the BIS. We were all delighted when he opted to join us in the pub afterwards for more informal continued conversation about the life of an astronaut.
