Who is Epic Spaceman?

I'm still working on my video about Black Holes! But in the meantime I wanted to share something I put together that should hopefully answer some questions I get quite a lot in the comments. It's been a bit of a crazy journey starting a channel about science and the Universe so I hope you enjoy this little look behind the scenes. The most important thing for me now is that I spend as much time as possible making more videos!
There's also some shots that didn't quite make it into my videos, plus a look at my first horrendous renders!
Do please let me know if you've got any questions!
If you enjoyed the video or channel please consider subscribing by clicking the link here:

If you'd like to support me further and my aim of making educational films about the Universe do please check out my Patreon here to subscribe: / epicspaceman
I post behind the scenes footage there as I make the next video and also put Patrons in the video as astronuat avatars! I hope to make these videos full time in the future so all the support is massively appreciated.

I have a son of just one year old and I can't wait to show him your videos about the scale of the universe. It just perfectly captures its magnificence in a way that I haven't seen before. Thank you!

[@EpicSpaceman]

That’s super kind thank you so much! I started making these as something to share for mine when they’re older and they’re just starting to enjoy them now, I will do my best to have a good collection of videos for him when he’s old enough to watch them. Thanks again!

[@InfoRanker]

That Milky Way to scale video is one of the coolest science videos I’ve ever seen

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks so much! I did put a lot of love into it, probably my favourite so far but I have many cool topics planned so the plan is to get progressively better.

[@MalPhunktion]

It’s not only one of the coolest videos, but also incredibly educational for a wide range of ages. It instantly reminded me of the Kurzgesagt channel, but now I see why. I shared that video with more than a handful (non-native English speaking) adolescents and they seemed to understand everything very well. It’s hard to get those kids interested for more than a few minutes nowadays, especially on science topics. That says a lot.

[@JustinLodes]

I agree! It was beautifully created and a pleasure to watch on many levels

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks all!

[@chrishamilton1678]

I couldn't agree more... that video blew me away, and now here I am!!

[@suen3808]

I don’t think people understand how INSANE it is to be able to create SUCH AMAZING ANIMATIONS with just 3 years of VFX experience!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! There’s lots of VFX I’m terrible at, I’m just becoming a strange specialist in these types of videos, but thank you, that’s very kind of you to say!

[@amak110]

Hello I reached out to you on twitter but no response yet. Wanted to ask you if you can do a small custom video for me about the universe. Of course you would be fairly compensated. Thanks

[@Tachyon111]

I do not know anything about VFX but the fact that the author spent A YEAR teaching himself every night left me speechless. No words to describe this beauty.

[@dingdongchingchong8659]

It took me 25 years using 3dmax and I'm nowhere near what this guy has done in 3 years

[@thawatchaiboonyakalin8632]

I’ve learned 3DMax since 14 yo. And then Maya, Cinema 4D then Blender through my life of 35 yo as a Motion Graphic Designer. And I’m not even close to your work for 2 years. This night you’ve been sparked my passionate about this industry again. Thank god I found this vids. Words cannot describe me now.

[@saladinbob]

Jesus the production value of your videos for a one-man band is ridiculously high, and substantially above anything knocked out by the BBC or Discovery. Seriously, I just watched the Black Hole video and thought this must be a team behind these videos.

[@Ojile]

And not just a team, an incredibly good team....

[@jamiew1664]

My name is jamie and i feel really stupid, and ill say why, about 8 months ago i saw one of your vids and i commented that "it was a great video but the message didnt get across to me" And you replied, "im very sorry to hear that". I must have been drunk after a long day at work, because ive recently come across you again and think the sheer quality of your videos is outstanding, and i cant get enough of your vids. I just feel very embarrassed that i once said that and i wholeheartedly cant get enough of you now. Youre a very talented man. I wish all the best to you and your family .

This dude's work is breathtaking man....The visuals are just SPECTACULAR... Marvel should hire this guy as the chief of CGI works 🔥

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the positivity, I actually sort of got a job offer to work in CGI (from the bottom but at a great company) after I made the second video as they were impressed I’d taught myself quite quickly. I would have loved to have done it in my 20’s but I said no because I already know what my ultimate job is and it’s these videos. I do want to make marvel looking videos but with real life, important knowledge and wonder behind the images.

[@eratase_]

I just saw your black hole video, and the whole time I was watching it I had my jaw dropped. I was like, the production that went into making this must be crazy! From the background music to the voice quality, the information displayed, to the freaking visuals, like WOW! Then, coming to this video and discovering that this is all done by a single man, who does all of this as a part-time at that, and on top of that, a parent to young kids like HOW? You truly have inspired me to go back and reopen my Instagram Art Page that I left in a way I never thought of before. As you said, just start running, start that project. And man, you are running. No you are sprinting! Thank you! Thank you for showing us what's possible.... Just Amazing! Can't wait to see what's next. 😊

[@Jarlaxleify]

Tell you, as a dad with a young family, you are my hero. I've put so many of my dreams on indefinite hold to better support my kids and give my spouse the role and freedom she wants, but seeing you do what you've done thus far with this channel has made me realized that it's possible to do both. You're work is changing lives in ways you'll never see, I hope you can remember that when this gets rough. Thanks for everything, keep it up!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you so much, firstly that’s very kind to send my way and is greatly appreciated, secondly thank you for taking the time to write that. We sound very similar! My wife works long hours and I tend to fill in the gaps with the kids as my job is more flexible, my life is very different to how it used to be! I figure these videos are a bit like a computer game, when I can find moments I play it and finishing a video is like completing a level. Sometimes I can find a couple of hours to play and sometimes I have to wait a week before I have a moment. But it’s fun to do and feels rewarding without too much time pressure, doubly so as it’s something my kids might be proud of and especially when I get comments like this. So thank you, people like you are a big part of why I’m making them! I hope all is well with you and I’d just say it’s never too late to try a new hobby or passion, even if it seems impossible from where you are right now. Cheers!

The fact that you had no VFX experience before starting this channel actually made my jaw drop. You are going to blow up on this platform sir. It is just a matter of time. Your content is literally incredible. Such a hidden gem that I feel so lucky that I found it a while ago - but also makes me mad because your videos deserve to be seen by so many people. Thank you for creating a video like this letting us into your world a bit and letting us learn more about you!

[@EpicSpaceman]

That’s very kind, thank you! I’m very thankful for the subs I have so far as I’ve got such wonderful comments and support from people like yourself that I can barely keep up with. I do want to get more views and subs in the future just because then I’ll have more opportunity to do this full time, the downside will mean I’ll be less able to reply to everyone individually. So don’t get mad about the numbers, hopefully they’ll come if I keep consistent but in the meantime I’m really enjoying this journey!

[@panakoz13]

That fact, that, HE too started from the donut for learning blender😂 Blenderguru must be proud

[@PinkeySuavo]

@@panakoz13 Yeah that donut is like "Hello world" of Blender, but there's only one specific tutorial from Blender Guru on that xD

[@QuantumDivergence]

I know- with 100% certainty- this channel will surpass 1M viewers VERY soon. I would love to see your perspectives on Quantum Mechanics, you have a gift for portraying scale, and I dont think any video I've ever seen does as good of a job. You have created true masterpieces. Please continue to learn and do more! I LOVE your work. Also, the fact that you picked up blendr on your own (the donut suggests you learned on your own) is truly inspiring for me personally. You have a true gift here, and i truly believe you will DOMINATE a VR Video market. Youre already there with Blendr already

[@r-type4945]

This reminds me of Neil Hallorans channel, who has made a few amazing vfx videos on some interesting topics. With only a hand full of videos over a 7 year stretch he still got over 330k subs.

Wow, we share almost the exact same story and passions! I was a photographer for 13 years before I went full-time into making educational videos on KZbin (been doing this for around 9 years now). Thank you for sharing your passion for science and your amazing talents and creativity to help educate and inspire! I'll be joining you on Patreon - well-deserved!

How wonderful! Great to hear from someone with a similar background who’s done something similar, looks like you’re doing amazingly well too, which makes me happy, love the content, am off to sub now! Great to see you’re focusing on KZbin kids too. Really appreciate the Patreon support and congratulations on your journey so far. Would love to pick your brains sometime on everything!

[@Khifler]

​@@braincandytv My kids grew up watching your videos and we have seen almost your entire spread of content. The change in your modeling, animation and rending skills over the years is crazy and I love showing them the new stuff you come out with. We just need all your content available on Prime or Netflix!

[@braincandytv]

@@Khifler Thanks so much for the kind feedback and for being long-time viewers. And thank you for noticing the extra work I’ve been putting into improving my animation quality - I really appreciate that. I’m happy to see we share some viewers with EpicSpaceman (isn’t his stuff awesome? I’m quite jealous, ha ha). I wish I could get onto Netflix one day, but the show is in fact available on Prime. Pretty much everything is on Prime except for the compilations, if you’re in the States, but the latest episodes are no longer being published on Prime in some other countries.

The universe is truly unimaginable in scale and illustrating that is so important, it draws people in to science and amazes them at any age. Keep it up, can't wait for the next one! :)

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Agree totally that it’s so important, I’m just happy I’ve finally worked out a way to combine something I like doing with something I love talking about.

[@beyond9thousand]

Opened my eyes. As a professional 3D artist I had been setting arbitrary timelines for myself to work with more advanced techniques, no more. There's so much to unpack behind this dilemma including years of beating down self confidence, but truly thank you. Couldn't be more excited about life and my career from this day forward.

[@EpicSpaceman]

What a wonderful comment, I’m so glad to could help! I don’t know if my approach to things works for other people and I know a lot of people have success making much more regular content so I’m much more of an anomaly, but what I can vouch for is how enjoyable it is to focus on one thing that you’re passionate about and make it for you, make it something you haven’t seen before that you’d like to. And hopefully, others will see that. Don’t spend forever on it though because you still need to iterate and move on to improve. And you go a bit mad when you’re just working on one thing for a while in my experience. Good luck and of course always have a backup plan and/or source of some income, it’s taken me 3 years or more to make money from this

[@yandou1127]

I just want to say "thank you" and show you, that your videos are very appreciated. Another commenter already put everything I'd like to say in better words, so I'll just add: your videos inspire in me what astonauts probably refer to as "overview syndrome", with feelings of "appreciation and perception of beauty, unexpected and even overwhelming emotion, and an increased sense of connection to other people and the Earth as a whole". After each video I had to sit down and process all the emotions that you inspired. Keep following your passion, because you have the ability to move viewers into appreciating life and existence. And that's just spectacular :)

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you so much for that kindness. Not just that but the eloquent and wholesome words too. I think that’s a wonderful description of what I feel and hope to get across in my videos so I’m so pleased you felt I achieved it.

You are onto something great here so I hope to see you keep at it because you're going to be a HUGE deal someday, I just know it.

You are a legend! I can’t believe you learned all that on your own. I am very impressed by the quality and clarity of your videos that I shared it with everyone I know. I have a Master of Architecture degree and that is what I do for work everyday. My real passion is animation, but I did not know until very late in undergrad and it was hard to make the switch. I thought now that I have a 9-5 job there is no way I could learn something new, but I think you just proved me wrong. I also thought as an academic person that I had to go back to school to learn how to do what you do. You are very inspiring, I look forward to see what you do next

Just amazing. I'm speechless about your work. Will tell everyone I know about it. Thank you for making this accessible for us all! You are a Universe, not just a star!!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you, that’s all super kind and much appreciated!

[@ThiagoFer93]

When I first watched your videos, I immediatley thought "this is Kursgezagt level of quality". What I couldn't have thought is that you did it all by yourself, it's amazing! I'm glad to hear that you're motivated and will continue to post new videos. Can't say thank you enough for your work.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Yes they are definitely a big inspiration, they have the best motion graphics and they do such good research. I figured if I could do that same approach with quality but with more of a narrative and use CGI then it might be something others would like.I’m really enjoying making them, glad you’re enjoying them too!

[@tarinharris406]

I have just introduced your videos to my online grade 8 natural science class. Between COVID and the over easy access to information on the internet, learners have lost the ability to imagine. These videos are brilliant, you have encompassed your passion and the beauty of science into visually stunning and relatable dialogues.

[@chrishamilton1678]

Your scale of the Milky Way Galaxy blew me away... cant wait to see what the future holds for your channel!!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! So pleased you enjoyed that one and very much looking forward to sharing the next video and beyond with you!

[@tradehut2782]

Your 'how big is the milky way' is something I will never forget. Thank you for all the hard work. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Fabboi_unl]

I'm deeply, deeply impressed by you as a person. Starting something completely new, without any prior knowledge, with no real idea if it's even gonna be seen by anyone.. I'm so happy for you that your hard work is paying off. You mentioned some of the people who inspire you.. You, even tho I don't really know you, now inspire me! Keep doing what you are doing!

[@HiJack700]

I've just stumbled across this video and your channel. On top of accuracy, scripting and technical capabilities already praised by other users, as an Italian, I would like to comment about your voice accompaining your astonishing videos: calming, clear and warm, very easy to understand even for a non mothertongue spectator. Thanks again for your work and keep going.

[@khajagpeltekian9280]

I love science. I came across your videos one night while watching Kurzgesat. Fell in love that moment. Your episodes are interesting and EASY TO UNDERSTAND. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@mitchelltaylor7787]

I can watch ALL of these videos over and over and they never get old. Amazing work and content!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! I’m really happy you’re enjoying them so much!

[@Dennyh025]

I just came accross your channel and am absolutely blown away, you are such a talented person. Please dont stop because these videos are gold.

[@EpicSpaceman]

That’s super kind thank you, really appreciate the support and there’s no danger of me stopping any time soon!

[@austinclark4113]

You knocked your first videos out of the park. I’m rooting for you and your channel, and hope more and more people can experience the same feelings I had while watching them!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! I’m so pleased you felt that kind of connection with it! Cheers

[@WEEBER13]

My young boys and I watch your videos before bedtime! Please keep making them - they're fascinating and relaxing!!

[@kylekelly3140]

These videos have blown my mind, especially the one about the scale of our galaxy. Thank you for making these videos. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! The support is massively appreciated and I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them, looking forward to sharing the next one too!

[@jackmeeks2294]

I'm literally 3 min in, and I am just in complete awe by this man. Bravo brother! Not only is his work ethic incredible, but he takes the time to respond to almost everyone in his comments. I've gotten a few replies myself. This video gives so much clarity on why you have such epic visuals after you showed that montage of your photography work. Beautiful work btw. Your narration, work ethic, and strenuous detail when it comes to accuracy, these are the reasons you are epic! The same reasons that I have no doubt you will be a top creator in this space very soon, pun intended 😉

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Always good to chat in the comments about anything space/science related and I do feel bad if I haven’t gotten back to people who leave such wonderful comments! So pleased you enjoyed this one, I thought maybe it was a good video to have out there to refer people to but didn’t expect such support from everyone. Certainly looking forward to sharing more and more videos and really appreciate the vote of confidence!

[@igbatious]

i was absolutely convinced you already worked in CG so learning that you're self-taught is that much more impressive.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! I really do enjoy CG, just seems like magic to me so really happy to learn as much as I can

[@thundercloud7850]

Your special effects, that is the universe and everything in it, are stunning. Thank you for putting in the work and making science so beautiful and fascinating.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Really appreciate that and I’m glad you’re enjoying them

[@alexlford]

I just said it on another video but wow - this absolutely incredible. Your videos are way above what other bigger productions are doing. You have completely crushed this! Amazing work

[@michaelkennedy8270]

It's just you that makes these videos? That seriously blew my mind!

[@EpicSpaceman]

It is! They have taken a while to do but the recent Moon one only took about a month so that’s the kind of schedule I’d like to hit in the future, 1-2 months each.

[@michaelkennedy8270]

I have just joined your patreon community. I've never done that before, but your content is truly stellar. The Orion Nebula video is my favourite science video I've ever come across on KZbin.

[@DmitryKiktenko]

Want to thank you for your videos! They are really epic and calming. I am so happy KZbin somehow recommended one of your videos to me. This is how such videos should be made! Keep going, you're on the right track!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks so much! Really pleased youtube recommended me to you and you found your way here. The kind comment is much appreciated.

[@patriotclint395]

I haven't searched the comments for this but I suspect someone else has already mentioned this. With the advent of VR goggles like Meta Quest and the like, creating a high quality and accurate VR experience of the universe in the same way that your videos are made would be the ultimate experience. You videos are the best! A VR version of them would be.... addicting!

[@EpicSpaceman]

I definitely would like to do this, I really like VR and with Unreal Engine 5 it’s becoming feasible to have something photorealistic and I think headsets will converge on that in a few years. So definitely something I’d like to do soon it’s just finding the time as VR is still slightly niche!

[@ThomasAnderson-MetaCortex]

The amount of time, effort and obsessive editing you do on these videos is very impressive. Watching your videos on a 85-in 4K TV is stunning.

[@adamczak_]

Your work is sick man, I really admire and respect self taught people but you are in another league. Thank you for your content, never stop it!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks so much for the positivity!

[@kyle-hb3pz]

I stumbled upon your videos last week and I was impressed with the quality and creativity! Please keep going. Incredible work!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks so much! Glad you found your way here!

[@kyle-hb3pz]

@@EpicSpaceman me too!

[@christianborja154]

Been a space geek for as long as I can remember. Ive seen great videos on KZbin but NOTHING that makes me feel this way. I am so thankful for just today finding your channel and while I have a calculus final in 5 days, and an Ochem final in 2 weeks, your videos are gonna fill up my study breaks for sure ! Thanks again brother

[@FieldMajor76]

Nice work! Black holes are intriguing. The first giant stars in the universe created so many but now the production of black holes are at a standstill.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks! Yes I think I’m going to do a few videos on them, the first just on their scale but then follow up videos on how they’re created and more

[@Ronin03]

Kyle Hill sent me here and i am absolutely! Happy that I've made it that far in his live stream to have him shout you out

[@thisisnowtakentoo]

Dude, your videos are one of the best on the whole platform! I really hope that this channel will succed in the way kurzgesagt did, and maybe even further.

[@EpicSpaceman]

That would be wonderful, they’re a great role mode to follow in the footsteps of. Thanks for the support!

[@nevo408]

The sounds + video + narration are a winning combo in your videos. I have not seen videos this good, not even in space museums. The world owes you a lot for these incredible pieces of art!

[@raphaelsouza7786]

Wow, you're so talented. Not just your videos are enterprise-grade, you are also a compelling storyteller. It escapes me why big names like Netflix, Apple TV+, Max and others aren't begging to have you on board.

[@TheInvisibleRedneck]

I'm absolutey shocked the quality of these videos hasnt produced multi-million views each. Everyone should see them. Heck, they should be on broadcast tv! Thanks for making them, huge inspiration in many different ways.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Really appreciate the support, hopefully one day this will be a bigger channel but in the meantime I’m so happy that people like yourself are enjoying it so much. Thanks again!

[@chm1701]

You can see and feel your passion for this channel and it’s subject matter. I have every faith that you’ll achieve your goals. You’ve created something special, so keep up the great work. I can also easily say that everyone is looking forward to you having more time to make more videos too. All the best to you.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Really appreciate the support and vote of confidence.

[@curiouscrocodile3730]

You certainly won me over with your very first video and it's now great to meet the man behind the scenes so to speak. A down to earth, quietly spoken and very logical man who has bought so much pleasure and knowledge already. You're a definite keeper Mr Epic - keep up the great work.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Glad to have you on board and so pleased you’re enjoying the videos and even found this one interesting too. Cheers!

[@tobytwiss]

Dude you’re incredible, the time, skill, effort and creativity you put in while having a family and other obligations is nuts. Can’t wait to see how your channel grows.

[@napotronix]

I find the way you visualise mind boggling concepts on human scales refreshing and innovative. I also find it impressive how high a standard of CGI you produce after such a short time. Your videos are really good and I can't wait what you'll cook up for us in the future.

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you, really appreciate all the support there, looking forward to sharing so much more

[@jaybradley9083]

I was mesmerized by Carl Sagan's television series, Cosmos. Until Epic Spaceman, it was the best thing I had ever seen about the universe. I am thrilled you will continue making these videos.

[@EpicSpaceman]

How wonderful, thank you for the highest praise possible! Carl was the best

[@kennydlite]

All of your videos are top notch, incredible, and absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your passion

[@EpicSpaceman]

You’re very much welcome, I’m just so pleased they’re resonating with people such as yourself, enough to write such a kind comment even. Cheers!

[@jamesgraham814]

So glad I found you and it was lovely when you personally thanked me for connecting and commenting. I’m a graphic designer, love photography, plus I’m a factual and fictional space nut. I also share your love for Carl Sagan - watching Cosmos with my mum as a young lad was the highlight of my week (I think she had a crush on him!) ❤

[@EpicSpaceman]

That’s a wonderful memory! Carl was such an amazing person. So pleased to have you here!

[@Alexander_Grant]

I got my degree in physics focusing on astronomy, I spent most of my college years studying the stars, I've even contributed data to the orbits of the moons of Uranus and Neptune while working under a professor while I was there. I spent the past year of my life working at a planetarium after a few years of doing software development and burning out on it since I've always wanted to share my love for astronomy. Between the hard math, spending hours looking at dots on a computer screen to find orbital data, and dealing with the startling amount of bureaucracy at a science museum I think I had lost that wonder I had back when I first looked through a telescope or the first time I watched the Cosmos or the first time I saw the Pale Blue Dot. Your videos have made me feel like that bright eyed kid again. It's amazing what incredible visualizations can do.

[@anthonyjobey8821]

They way in you make me think about things is different about the universe I live in is amazing, you have given me a way to bring joy back into learning things and at almost 40 years old that’s an amazing feat. Thank you for all this work you do and I truly look forward to seeing more and learning more from you

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks so much, I’m older than you and I’m finding out so much as I make these too, I think awe and curiosity are such wonderful things regardless of anyone’s background or age.

[@davebanks7435]

The passion behind all this is the driver - your work is phenomenal - and not only do you present your viewers with truly memorable content you are a reminder to many of us about what CAN be achieved with drive and willingness to explore. Epic - you are an international treasure and I look forward to your next video immensely - Thank you :)

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind, I’m so happy you’re enjoying them so much and took the time to write something so thoughtful. Can’t wait to make more!

[@pepeabascal412]

You have found the best way to explain and engage. Proportions, sizes, dimensions, I love it. Keep the excellent work!

[@Picklemehweenr]

Your videos are by far and i mean BY far the best ones ive ever seen, space is my favorite subject, it was when i was a kid and still is now in my 30s, ive watched 1000s literal 1000s of space videos, documentaries and yours have been the best ive ever seen. I'm here for it all Mr.Spaceman

[@KayDeePea416]

I cannot explain how your videos impact me. ✨💖✨ As someone who is trying to understand our universe/spacetime more, as soon as I saw your Milky Way vid, I knew this channel was something special. 🤯✨🪐 Thank you for all of your hard work, passion, & intelligence.🤓♥️ & yes, though I'm a visual learner, I am looking for intelligent/well thought-out videos, & I saw it right away in yours (I love that you love Kurzgesagt too, a fav of mine!♥️🐦). I agree that this crazy vast universe connects & brings us all together, which is needed now more than ever. ♥️🤝♥️ From 1 human to another, thank you, & I am so exited to see where this goes! And I've been OBSESSED with black holes lately, can't wait! ✨💖🤩💖✨

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful and kind message. So pleased you’re enjoying them all and I can’t wait to finish making the black hole video too!

Your channel is the only channel I subscribed after only watching one video less than a minute, that mean how amazing your production was

[@Tois832]

Your videos are absolutely breathtaking. You thereby enable a completely new view of the universe. I think many of us just think it's fantastic how you visualize everything. Greetings from Germany, a small, insignificant speck in the Milky Way. PS: Your children will be very proud of you!

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words, they say they are but they’re a bit biased!

[@kaygau8817]

You’re amazing, we love you and I personally can’t wait to see where you manage to go with this in the future!!!! Keep inspiring that wondrous sense of childhood awe for the sciences as you help to capture the attention of the old and new the world over. 💕

What a wonderful comment, thank you so much. It’s messages like this that really help motivate me to keep heading in the direction I’m going, cheers!

How wonderful, thank you for the work you do! I’ve been to Rajasthan a few times, it’s a beautiful part of the world, I can’t imagine how wonderful it is for those kids to look through a telescope for the first time
