Sutherland space hub boss predicts space tourism from Scotland 'in our lifetime'
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.
