Manx students sent to NASA

Three Manx school students have won scholarships to work with NASA this summer.

Hannah Midghall of St Ninians, Alexander Brew of QEII and Harry Dunne of Ramsey Grammar - will be off to the United Space School in Houston, Texas for two weeks after securing scholarships.

Once there they will team up with others from more than 20 countries on planning a simulated crewed mission to Mars, supported by astronauts, engineers and scientists.

Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Graham Cregeen says it promises a 'fantastic experience' for the trio.
