Can a materials scientist and former paramedic find a place in space? ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer is doing just that, right now, on the International Space Station. The native of Sankt Wendel in Germany didn’t give up on his dream of being an astronaut when he missed the first cut, and is making the most of his selection by ESA to focus on materials science research in microgravity. Maurer and his crewmates launched on a SpaceX Crew Dragon Nov. 10, 2021 for a six-month-long mission in space.
