EPISODE 030: Yvette Hopkins, Shetland Space Center

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a little north of Scotland, there is a small island that you can cross by car in just two and a half hours. In the far north there is not much going on, lush meadows as far as the eye can see. And sheep, of course. On closer inspection, however, there is one place with a most curious combination of buildings that piqued our interest: a spaceport with its own pub. Naturally we got curious and did a little research and uncovered a most fascinating story. Host: Markus MooslechnerGuest: Yvette HopkinsPublished by: Torsten KrieningWho we are?SpaceWatch.Global is a digital magazine and portal for those interested in space, and the far-reaching impact that space developments have.
