Christian is a tech expert with great insight into space exploration from his time training to be on the Mars One mission. This was a privately funded mission to put a community on Mars, pushing the envelop of exploration further than publicly funded NASA could do. Presently, that mission is on hold so Christian is working in the tech sector in Germany, while taking every opportunity he can to share his knowledge, hoping to inspire the next generation of space travellers.

This is a two part series. The first part deals with general themes of education, the Mars One background, Christian's insight into launch and space travel and thoughts on the Falcon Heavy and crewed Dragon launches of Spacex.
