British-born astronaut Piers Sellers is urging UK policymakers to get the nation involved in human spaceflight. Sellers, a veteran of two shuttle missions, said the rewards are well worth the expense.
“The UK needs a new generation of scientists and engineers if it is to be viable in the future world economy. I and many of my scientist and engineer colleagues were inspired to get into science and engineering in the first place because of space. And it is obvious that the appeal of space exploration to the public in general and to the young in particular is as strong as ever,” he writes in The Guardian.
