Bright Sparks: David McKeown - Rocket Scientist Engineering plays a significant role in science exploration and innovation. We had robot engineer Conor McGinn and now rocket scientist and engineer David McKeown. David is a research engineer working in University College Dublin, conducting research for the European Space Agency on contracts dealing with vibration control of the next generation of rockets. He was part of the team that worked on Deleon, a robot arm for the Mars Rover. In this short clip David talks to presenter of Bright Sparks, Shane Bergin about how he became a rocket scientist and how he feels about people travelling to Mars.
