Just over a week ago, the third Australian flew to space onboard a Blue Origin New Shepard spacecraft with the iconic Star Trek Captain Kirk, 90-year-old William Shatner.
This week, Dr Chris Boshuizen appeared on the Space Connect Podcast – the sister brand of Australian Aviation – to talk through his experiences.
Here, he tells hosts Adam Thorn and Bella Richards how he got on the spaceflight, the sense of “connectedness” he felt, the state of the Australian space sector and how he fell in love with the industry to begin with.
