Judges questions and titles
Dr Simon Clark

I would like you to imagine that you have been appointed a mission to explore somewhere in space. You can go to one place. Where would you go? Why would you go there and with what purpose? How would your mission benefit the human race and what are the key things you'll need to consider when putting together your mission?
Professor Katherine Joy
Where on the Moon would you go and visit when we send humans back to explore its surface? Why would you pick this site? I also want to know what scientific investigations you would carry out and why you would do these experiments
Dr Simon Foster
Exploring the solar system and space research annually costs hundreds of billions of pounds, yet with pressing problems here on Earth, can this spending be justified?
