Following two days of outreach work by Starchaser Industries led by Starchaser CEO Steve Bennett, Starchaser’s 11m tall Skybolt rocket will be on display supporting the Seize The Moment lecture given by Helen Sharman.
Helen Sharman is a British chemist, and will forever be remembered as Britain’s first astronaut. Not

only did Helen Sharman have this honour, but she was in fact the first woman to go to the Mir space station. These days Helen is engaged in outreach and education work, and surely there couldn’t be a better role model for young girls to see the benefit of the study of sciences.
Helen’s lecture is taking place at Hartlepool Town Hall this evening, which ends an exciting couple of days for Hartlepool after Starchaser Industries have been carrying out education work at High Tunstall School. Hartlepool may be unfamiliar to many, but it’s actually where Ridley Scott (Director of The Martian film) studied!
