Awesome Esa tour!🍿
Wonder what Esa will do for the Eclipse in 2027? Wouldn’t you love to have an invite for that event?🥰
Truly love your amazing science travel tours.🌠💖

Dr Lieu is Europe's #1 space fan. 🙂

That has to be one of my favourite videos from you yet! God your lust for science is contagious! I will take my little girl to the next, one! Big up DJ AXL! You look good in a spacesuit! Diamond Synchatron? Now you're just playing with me! Too much good stuff!

Living at the other end of the planet and only ever a virtual tourist now, I'll pass and wait for more science insights from you.

🎉there was a ice cream truck? Yea, I’ll take the whole truck load of ice cream please. 🤣 after suiting up the astronaut space suit did you mention to astronaut Rosemary Coogan you were willing to volunteer to be her standby astronaut? 🤪. Great video and you covered a lot of the event. It looked fun to be there. The cloud chamber is always mesmerizing to see.

Whenever I went to events (Farborough Air Show, British GP, Monsters of Rock, etc) I traveled on motor coaches. I'm amazed that I didn't see any motor coaches (filled with OAP like myself?) in the car park of this important event.
Yes!!! ESA NEED to do this kind of scientific outreach more often! I've had my eyes hooked on Spaceport Cornwall and Saxavord...and I totally FORGOT Harwell!
That mustn't happen, ESA! Britain needs outreach in order for the taxpayers to understand what a great investment ESA and the British space industry are! Mahalo for another GREAT report, Dr. Liu! Aloha!

[johnlewis]

That looks like a great day out! Plenty to see and do

[Mike_Greentea]

Wow the UK has a lot of people interested in space exploration! 👍

[atmrtwbike]

I'm so jealous! Looks like you had an absolute ball of a time, despite missing out on a few things. I would have loved to have gone to this. Maybe one day!

Btw, what did you win after spinning the wheel?
