Tim Gregory and Tessa Naran share more in common than just their UoM background. They also both want to be astronauts and are currently appearing on our screens every Sunday at 9pm. The reason? They\u2019re participants in the new BBC 2 show Astronauts: Do you have what it takes?<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Beating off tough competition from 3,000 other applicants, the duo were handpicked by none other than Chris Hadfield, former commander of the International Space Station. Now they\u2019re going head to head with ten other competitors for the chance of getting Chris\u2019s backing to become one of the European Space Agency\u2019s next influx of new recruits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The toughest training in the Solar System?<\/h2>\n

Make no mistake \u2013 the people taking part in this show aren\u2019t being given an easy ride just because they\u2019re on TV. The tasks they\u2019re asked to complete are similar to real astronaut training and their performance is judged by Hadfield alongside Dr Kevin Fong \u2013 who himself applied for astronaut selection in 2008 \u2013 and Dr Iya Whiteley, who designs training courses for new European Astronauts.<\/p>\n

Both Tim and Tessa have so far aced many of the tasks, including escaping from an underwater container, docking a space station, taking samples of their own blood and hovering a helicopter. Tim puts his winning time on the helicopter task down to the fact he\u2019s had to develop an extremely steady hand using a pipette in the lab at Bristol University, where he\u2019s currently completing his PhD. Meanwhile, it should come as little surprise Tessa did so well on this task, as since graduating from UoM she\u2019s become a commercial airline pilot.<\/p>\n

With both Tim and Tessa still in the running three episodes in, we\u2019re hoping for a UoM graduate to win the top prize and get Hadfield\u2019s backing for a place on the next voyage into space. For both, this would be a dream come true.<\/p>\n

Lifetime ambition<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Tessa trained as an airline pilot after graduating<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cSince I was about six years old I wanted to be an astronaut. My dad brought home some space food from Helen Sharman, the first British Astronaut. From that moment I wanted to know everything about astronauts, what they did in space, how to become one and so on. My dream led me to study Physics with Astrophysics,\u201d says Tessa.<\/p>\n

Tim believes it’s only natural to have a fascination with space. \u201cHumans have always been explorers and what we\u2019ve discovered has shaped human history. Space lets us continue this and be the best we can be,” he says. Although he also points out: \u201cI\u2019m still realistic. I\u2019m not pinning my definition of success to this one goal \u2013 it\u2019s just an exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Tim\u2019s a person who certainly knows the value of remaining open minded about the future. He originally joined UoM to study Physics, but a few weeks in realised it wasn\u2019t the right course for him. Making the change to a Geology with Planetary Science degree set him on a path that would end with him taking an internship at NASA and, later, training to be an astronaut. Pretty great for a guy who was called \u201cNASA boy\u201d at school and bullied for his love of science.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had a piece of advice for anyone in the same position I was at school \u2013 someone who loves science but is picked on because of it \u2013 I would tell them \u2018stay curious\u2019,\u201d Tim says. And he admits that it was a difficult time for him, which he got through \u2013 in part \u2013 because of his deep love of science, along with his mum\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t forget why you got interested in science in the first place. Lots of people share your interest. If you\u2019re finding school hard, it will come to an end \u2013 however difficult that might seem to believe at the time. What I went through shaped the direction I took in life,\u201d Tim explains. \u201cBecoming an astronaut used to be just an idle thought but now I\u2019ve had this insight into doing it for real. Now I think \u2018why not?\u2019 I can at least try.\u201d<\/p>\n

The future is extra-terrestrial<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Tim has got through the first three rounds of the show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, do Tim and Tessa think their time at UoM helped them on the show? Definitely!  \u201cI took pride in telling Chris Hadfield that I did my undergraduate degree at The University of Manchester. He knew of the university and the city. My time in Manchester set up the path I\u2019m on now and led to this selection process,\u201d says Tim. Tessa adds: \u201cUoM is a highly reputable university and the fact I have a Master\u2019s degree from there has helped me throughout my life and career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking to the future, both Tim and Tessa are far from abandoning their dreams of space exploration. For Tim, there\u2019s a pressing need to explore the possibilities beyond Earth\u2019s atmosphere, as our time on our home planet is finite. \u201cI believe that to avoid extinction we will have to become an interplanetary species someday. That could be a settlement on Mars or a Moon base \u2013 and if we\u2019re going to have to do it, why not start today?,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Tessa, meanwhile, has her eye on the more immediate future and hopes to pilot a commercial spaceflight at some point. She wants her achievements to inspire others to go for their dreams. \u201cAnything is possible and the sky is not the limit. Just work hard and believe in yourself,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

With three episodes left to go, we\u2019re wishing Tessa and Tim lots of luck \u2013 and we have our fingers crossed that a UoM graduate will be crowned the winner. But whatever happens, we know these two have bright futures ahead of them.<\/p>\n
