About the speaker
Michael first blasted into space with NASA aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia into 1995, and he completed another two shuttle missions. He has also been into space with Axiom Space and Soyuz and was commander of the International Space Station.
He holds NASA records for the most time spent on space walks, spending a total of 67 hours and 40 minutes outside during 10 walks.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to Spaceward Bound New Zealand and the Consulate General of the United States of America for arranging Michael’s visit.
