Space School 'opened doors' for Manx students

A trip to Space School in Texas 'opened a lot of doors' for two Manx students.

Daniel Comley from Ramsey Grammar School and David Sargent from QEII High School spent two weeks in Houston after being awarded scholarships from the ManSat Group.

The trip involved working alongside peers from more than 20 countries with support from NASA astronauts, engineers and scientists to plan a crewed mission to Mars.

Daniel says the experience opened his eyes to the reach that the space industry has worldwide, and it's reaffirming to know that no matter his chosen profession, there will be opportunities.
