We're still coming down from this incredible experience. We're so fortunate in Ireland to have a bedrock of incredible Space Week event organisers who run events for us every year. Knowing we can depend on those organisers gives us the confidence to push forward with more ambitious projects to help Space Week Ireland grow. This trip was our attempt to give back to just a few of these Space Week heroes. Steve was incredibly gracious and generous with his time as we traveled throughout Ireland. We're tremendously grateful to him and to all the event organisers that made this Space Week trip so memorable.
