Truly honoured & humbled to work as a mentor with my new ⁦⁦⁦@esaspaceflight⁩ colleagues for their Human Behaviour&Performance training. The best part: I gain at least as much knowledge as I transfer. Grateful for their time, amazed by their stature.

Of course our Planetary Caves Conference field trip is underground: @Cescosauro gives some instruction before going inside the curva de los verdes, our first stop.
