Question: When pursuing a career in the space department what would you say is key to having a better understanding of the field and the content of studying space and give you an upper hand when it comes to applications (extra-curricular projects, reading lists or certain conferences to attend)? i'm in year 11 at the moment but i'd like to prepare myself ahead of time.
