He gave an introduction about myself, but as he said, my name is deanne. Much like many of our panelists today am an engineer. Unlike most of our panelists today, i have never been to space. Which gives you an idea of the impressiveness next to me. But i did grow up in brevard county, florida, and Cape Canaveral, and i have watched many of you launch to space, and it has been an inspiration in my life and one of the reasons that i chose to pursue engineering. Ive gone on to have a bit of an atypical career. Im an engineering tv host nowadays, and also founder and ceo of future engineers and we actually have a current challenge that was launched with nasa where students can name the next mars rover, so i dont know if youchb you know but the mars curiosity rover was named by a kindergarten through 12 student.

Much like many of our panelists today, i am an engineer. But i have never been to space, which gives you an idea of the impressiveness next to me. But i did grow up in florida around Cape Canaveral and have watched many of you launch to space, and it has been one of the reasons i chose to pursue engineering. Ive gone on to have an atypical career, i am a tv host nowadays, and we have a current challenge that was launched with nasa, where students can name the next mars rover. Right now, we have a contest until november 1st, so you have any kids or grand kids that want to be part of space history, i encourage them to go online and submit their names.

Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The Prime Minister has been meeting his cabinet and mps as he tries to secure enough support for his brexit deal ahead of tomorrows crucial vote in the house of commons. Borisjohnson says theres no better outcome than the deal he has negotiated but he needs 320 votes to get it passed, with only 287 voting conservative mps. That means he must persuade members from across the house including labour rebels, ex tories as well as brexiteers in his own party to support him. The deal would see the
From an astronauts perspective, absolutely not. They are all trained to do theirjobs correctly and properly, and are all very, very capable of doing that. There is no difference in their abilities.
