The second word I learned as a child was “Venus”. I was able to point to it in the sky faster than now. But I forgot about space as the years went by because I thought the space sector was just for some big agencies and in huge cities. But I discovered at university that someone from A Coruña could have a chance in this industry. From then on I knew it was for me and I was not letting it go.
