In April 2002 Mark Shuttleworth flew in space for the first time, as a cosmonaut member of
the crew of Soyuz mission TM34 to the International Space Station. Mark was born
and raised in South Africa, and is currently living in London, where he
researches new projects and technologies. Mark will be talking about his experiences in training and
flying on the Soyuz and ISS, with photographs; and on the emerging opportunities
in space.
