The live broadcast of the Perjantai -show took place in Tampere at the Tampereen Työväen Teatterin Klubi on 02.02.2018. I went there one hour before to get the last instructions from Rosa Kettumäki and Sean Ricks. There was a lot audience to see the live broadcast. The show started with my interview where I told what kind of a space trip I will do. The second interview was astrophysicist Sissi Enestam and the third was astronomer Esko Valtaoja. This was my first time to be in a live television show. My friends told me that I was OK at the show:)

At the end of the show, we were all at the same table, where topics ranged from side to side. One of the topics was what should be done to make the space sector better known in Finland. Finland still lacks a centralized space management, now space issues are handled by many different ministries, which is ineffective. Finnish companies need to have courage to explore the potential of space technology in business. If even a hundredth of the enthusiasm of what companies have put into digitalisation projects led by CDOs (Chief Digital Officer), would be put on space projects, Finland would be far in the space technology. We are now behind our neighbours in utilizing space technology and it is now about the last time to get involved. When is the first Chief Space Officer (CSO) hired for a Finnish company?
