Ry... In... Space!

Submitted by RyInSpace on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 08:39
I'm on the verge of finishing my PhD (May/June 2010) in Bioastronautics in the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I've been a space enthusiast my entire life. My research is on lunar dust abrasion and my other key research interests are in analogue studies and human spacecraft, i.e. spacesuits and lunar/martian landers that involve humans in the loop. I applied to the astronaut pool in 2008-2009 to both CSA and NASA since I"m a dual citizen. I was video interviewed by CSA in the top 76. Getting closer to the stars!


There is lots more information about me including my CV on my website if you're interested: www.RyInSpace.com
