Still proud that mine and a 4year old @eddhurst were two of the signatures on this DVD that went to Saturn as part of the @NASA Cassini mission.

Great news that my namesake in Australia is expanding the @spacetoco space finding marketplace into the UK. If @jeremyhurstAUS is looking for a UK-based person to lead the UK operation, sharing the same name could be an interesting marketing angle.
