Island still active in space industry says AstroManx founder

Astromer believes sector is still vibrant

The Island is still very active in the space industry.

That's according to Island Astronomer and founder of Astromanx, Howard Parkin.

The Island was famously listed in the top five nations in the world likely to put the next person on the moon a few years ago.

Whilst he believes we've taken "our foot off the gas" somewhat when it comes to publicising the industry, Mr Parkin says the Island's space sector is still vibrant.
