To infinity and beyond!

Sixty-one years ago, on April 12, 1961, the first human space flight, led by Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet citizen, took off into the sky. Today, we’re sending tourists to space!

The first fully private crew to reach the International Space Station took off on Wednesday, April 8, aboard a SpaceX spacecraft, a company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, whose goal is to reduce the cost of space transportation and enable the colonization of Mars.

Gagarin's space flight was humanity's first attempt at space exploration, an attempt that paved the road we are walking on now.

This breakthrough in space exploration proves once again that nothing can stand in the way of evolution!

Why should this matter?

The space sector is a large and rapidly growing market that will be worth billions over the next decade. In many ways, the space industry is at a similar stage today as the internet was in the mid-1990s.

This is a historical moment, a time to invest in an exciting and rapidly growing sector. The possibilities are infinite!

Why work in the space industry?

Because working in the space sector does not only mean being an astronaut, the space sector encompasses many different fields and professions.

You can work in astronomy, space technology, engineering, research, astrophysics and more!

In the UK for example, the median space sector salary is £49k, well ahead of the median UK salary of £31k! And it could be more, depending on your position.
