“I truly believe to capture the imaginations of students today, especially the scientifically inclined, it requires an in depth knowledge of space, where we come from, how we are connected to it, and our future potential venturing out further and more often. Recognizing that we are part of the universe and not somehow separated from it is one of the most profound things anyone can truly understand. TIS shows us that we can do practical useful things in space and not just float in a space station admiring the view.”
