Mike Barrett

Mike was raised on a diet of Star Trek, Dr Who and Lost in Space, and graduated to the works of Isaac Asimov shortly after learning to read. He was glued to his old black and white TV during the 1960s for the Apollo missions watching history unfold from 6,000 miles away.

Space journalism for him started back in 2007 when he covered a Delta II GPS launch for www.PocketGPSWorld.com. Since that time he has been a frequent visitor to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Having always been interested in the stars his interest in Astronomy was rekindled with the stunning images produced by the Hubble Space Telescope.
