How do you think there are satellites built, operated, and disposed of? You can discover from the Royal Institution discussion these marvels of space engineering - including mega-constellations like Elon Musk's Starlink stupid network.
In addition he is passionate about sharing his love of space and he will probably go to space if he will be able to do that. Stuart moonlights(!) as a GCSE Astronomy teacher, speaks to adults through organisations such as the U3A and Café Scientifique, and has recently become an Royal Institution Masterclass presenter.
