After assembly complete, when we have a larger crew on orbit, a more complex vehicle, more laboratories and more robot arms, maybe we'll have room for specialists. But right now we don't.

We are not yet at the point where our size, our being the drama industry, is sufficient to support full time professional crews, and that is very very important.

Our goal is to tell people about the International Space Station. I think very rarely people look up 250 miles and think, What are those guys working on, what are those men and women doing at this moment... They're living and doing regular things, but also doing incredible work as well. We really want to bring that to people.

We believe it is important to have an organisational link in London, still the world's premier maritime centre.

Sooner or later, you will see a China-based company that really has a global impact, and I think Baidu has a chance to become one of those companies. We should be able to compete on a global basis.

We want more of our products going overseas, but the trick is to have a level playing field.

I think that we must come together progressively, with the British, the Germans, the Spanish, the Italians and with the new members of the European Union, we must make an effort to forge closer links.

The crucial point is always the own cost structure. Therefore I created a Low Cost alliance with air Berlin.
