Honorary doctorate for astronaut :
"'That I was able to turn that dream into a realistic ambition and which ultimately took me to space, I owe largely to the education that I received.'"
I saw Andy Thomas on the news tonight and it was good to see Adelaide University honour him. It was also good to hear him speak of his achievements and his plans for the future. He is a very humble, self effacing man, but he knows how to dream . He knows how to dream big and he knows how to light up the eyes of the young. He is fully aware of his capacity to influence others as an elder. He has not ceased to dream and that would have been his gift to those students graduating today. He would have inspired them to dream their dreams. For a quiet man he makes big footsteps...and yes, he has more plans and they are very exciting!!
