I met an Astronaut

Last night I met an Astronaut.

I took the photo here of Laura Thomas (who is the SEPnet Outreach Officer at Queen Mary, UCL) standing next to Richard Garriott, the Astronaut, with Lucy Hawking, Stephen Hawking's daughter and novelist.

I was attending the Parliamentary Space Committee: 2009 Christmas Reception entitled "Space for the Future: A Special Celebration of Space Across the Curriculum" it was held in the Members’ Dining Room, House of Commons.

I'd been invited as part of the SEPnet Outreach team who were helping to support the event.
