      Probably but not directly. If I manage to do some good work which helps contribute to securing a space mission to Uranus or Neptune, I think that will improve the excitement for space and science.

      Directly, probably not. However, Space Weather is a huge international threat and the long-term applications of work like mine in forecasting, should help mitigate consequences of large events which may have consequences to life.

      Not directly. Hopefully, it will inspire young people to think about our solar system and science in general.

      I think it’ll still be new and experimental for the moment, but in the next generation it might start being used commercially
