A message from Hector Lewis-Bayer

Dear Mrs Waller and Miss Taylor

I am writing to thank you for arranging both Ishan and I to the evening with Major Tim Peake.

I would like to send a huge thank you to the Peake family for giving Chichester High School tickets to the show.

I really enjoyed the show, I felt really inspired by his talk about how he became an astronaut and what he did on the ISS.

It is still incredible to think that he studied at our School and then went onto to this inspiring career.

My favourite part was when he talked about the space walk, and how incredible it was to float outside the ISS and stare out into the void of space.

I really like the quote, “Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something you’ve set you heart on.”

His career has left me wanting to pursue my studies in Aero Engineering.

Thank you so much,

Yours Sincerely

Hector Lewis-Bayer

Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for an awe-inspiring ride.

Tim Peake is a European Space Agency astronaut. In December 2015, he became the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station to conduct a spacewalk (and run a marathon!) whilst orbiting Earth.

Now, join him on an epic and thrilling journey to the International Space Station as part of his first ever UK tour.

Tim will be your personal guide through life in space, with unprecedented access, breath-taking photographs, and never-before-seen incredible footage. It’s a fascinating insight into what it’s really like to be an astronaut; from training to launch, spacewalk to re-entry, Tim reveals the secrets, the science and the everyday wonders of how and why humans journey into space.

Sharing his passion for aviation, exploration and adventure, this is your chance to spend an evening with one of the world’s greatest living astronauts, and to rediscover the wonder of the place we call home.

“It’s impossible to look down on Earth from space and not be mesmerised by the fragile beauty of our planet” Tim Peake

“Everything you wanted to know about life in space” The Times

“A delightful adventure of understanding of how and why humans journey into space” Robin Ince, The Infinite Monkey Cage
