On Friday at the Farnborough Air Show David Morris MP, Chair of the Parliamentary Space Committee (an APPG) met with Major Tim to welcome him back to earth on behalf of the Committee.
David Morris MP said:
'Major Tim is a national hero and it was a privilege to meet him again and welcome him back to earth. I especially thanked him for the educational work he has taken part in ,whilst in space, inspiring our children to be interested in Science and Space.'
'At Farnborough on Friday Tim was mobbed by young people and it was fantastic to see so many children inspired by Tim's mission and so enthusiastic to learn more about space. The Committee does a lot of work in Parliament to inspire children to take up Science subjects and I believe Tim's legacy will speak for itself in years to come.'
