“Our company had a wonderful opportunity to listen and engage with Helen Sharman regarding her experience in space travel. It is a rare opportunity and privilege for people to listen to and ask questions about someone's first-hand experience on what it is like to train, and then travel to the space station. The knowledge and enthusiasm Helen shared with us was impressive and inspiring. We can't wait for the next opportunity to work with her again!”
