CAPTAIN Kirk anticipates space tourists taking off from Scotland in our lifetime. No, not on the next Star Trek film but from a destination from which we usually travel to the continent. Captain Roy Kirk has just as much passion for space as the better-known Captain James Tiberius Kirk and is at the heart of Scotland’s emergence as a global leader in space technology. The project director from Space Hub Sutherland who delights in being called Captain Kirk, on account of a Territorial Army background, is excited at how fast the sector is growing in Sutherland and across Scotland.
