like solar panels, cat scanners, all that sort of stuff, we are trying to galvanise and push solutions forward. i think for me particularly, the idea that the space race is on at the moment, we have seen everyone trying to get space tourism going, it s the idea that we need some of the world s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live. i think that ultimately is what sold it for me, is that that really is quite crucial, we need to be focusing on this one rather than giving up and heading out into space to try and think of solutions for the future. having said that, though, would you like to be a space tourist one day? do you know what? i have absolutely no interest in going that high. i m a pilot, but i m a helicopter pilot, so i stay reasonably close to the ground. i ve been up to 65,000 feet once in a plane and that was truly terrifying. and that s high enough. do you go weightless at that point? not quite, but t
