From Paris to Washington

Ok, so some of us came home from Paris, but Alex was off to Washington DC, for the Global Space Exploration Conference and a series of meetings…. ! Its a hard life being the CEO of the IPN. Before delivering a paper at the education ‘Technical Session of the conference, Alex met up with a couple of old friends, Doug Cooke, who headed up NASA’s mars exploration programme and Rob Alexander who works with NASA at the Johnson Space Centre on ISS safety at mission control. Rob also runs an International Space School so there may be opportunities for some partnership working. He also has contacts in South Africa which he will pass on!!
