    Niamh Shaw has dreamed of space travel from the age of eight. After a year of interviewing astronauts, astrophysicists, space industries and potential future colonists of Mars, she's discovered that what was once her childhood dream may soon become a reality. She undertook a rigorous training that prepares astronauts for their space missions, documenting every step.
