Rhiannon Thomas wants to become New Zealand’s first woman to launch a rocket into space. The 14-year-old Waitaki Girls’ High School pupil has big dreams to become the third woman in the world to achieve the feat, but said she would not be upset if someone else beat her to it. “Only two [women] have done it before and it’s all happened recently. It just shows not enough women are going into rocket science and engineering.” On Sunday, Rhiannon is speaking about why this might be the case as a panellist for the touring exhibition 100 Women, 100 Words ..
