I got to do some real science in weightlessness! A total of 23 whole astro minutes in freefall. This wasn't a tourist flight but a real life science campaign with the European Space Agency and NASA. It really was a dream come true. I've wanted to do a parabolic flight ever since I watched 'The Making of Apollo 13' (the movie not the actual event) as a kid and learnt how they filmed it. I guess this will be the closest I'll get to going into space!

Huge thank you to Neil Melville,
Ruth McAvinia,
Anne-Clotilde Duchesne,
Sébastien Turay,
Karina Marshall-Goebel,
Rosita Suenson, Lars, and all the scientists I met and chatted to on the campaign.

As the channel scales up, I'm really trying to commit to things I've wanted to do but previously told myself I don't have time or money to address. The first on that list is subtitles, which I'm going to do my best to provide for every video if I can. Sometimes they're uploaded a bit last minute/impromptu and I'll endeavour to get them up afterwards, but I'm now working with a company to get subtitles in place before publication if possible. To everyone who uses subtitles – sorry it took so long.
