The space economy is perceived to be linked to Science, Technology, Education and Mathematics studies, and scientists in aeronautics- the study of science of flight, design and manufacturing of different space crafts- believe that future businesses will be tied to space.“The space economy is in full force now and NASA has been tasked to commercialise space to create such opportunities.
Sakhikamva Foundation, a developmental organisation focusing on 21st century skills, says it is critical for learners to take sustainable opportunities. Another pupil, Keegan Marney, who is the head of the pupil’s Engineer Robotics Team says the visit by NASA has expanded his view on possible career options within the field of engineering.
