That was the best birthday ever. 😁🚀
Updated my profile banner picture to one of my favourite #Space moments ever.
On this day in 2016, that's me and @astro_timpeake's parents waving at the #ISS flying over, while primary students from his home town spell out his name.
One of those moments you never forget. #STEM
