When I was young I was always fascinated
by how things work, how things interact
with each other. Maybe brought on
initially by things like Lego
and then a fascination with machines and
planes. At the moment I am working on a
new startup called Neutron Star Systems. 
We are developing an electric propulsion
system for in space propulsion. It's an
engine for spacecraft and satellites
which gets the spacecraft and satellites
to where they need to go. This engine is
unique because it is going to be
designed to use on future star missions
which need high powers. Like large satellite
missions, cargo transfers, refueling and
servicing of satellites. So a lot of
these missions which have long been
considered sci-fi but we think are now
becoming a reality. The reason I decided
to get into space was because it's
growing so fast and I think out of all
the industries out there it's the one
with the most limitless possibilities.
When I think what the space industry
could look like in 40 years time it
could be anything and that's what really
excites me about that and that's why I
had the opportunity to get involved with
a start-up and do something which could
be really important for this future then
is one I have to take. I feel like
what I'm doing it has the potential to
be not iconic but really important for
the future of humanity. I feel like what
we're doing has the possibility to make
a big impact on the space industry and
this is one of the things that keeps me
going. I always wanted to make a
difference, that's why I went into
engineering in the first place and I
feel like with this activity I can make a big difference.
