On Friday we had a second Skype session where Thomas Bennet showed us the control centre. He showed us the screen where the health of the telescopes are displayed. He also introduced us to his boss and some of the other board members. We also got to ask some more questions that were answered by the two scientists: Kim and Laura. We asked them how it was to be a woman in the project. They said that they were equal to everybody else and that it was very exciting to be in a project that is going to make such a difference, they also said that they had worked very hard to get to this point. It is interesting to know that only 50 years ago women were not allowed and not considered capable of being able to be a good scientist or mathematition. Look now, women are one of the main brain power sources. The Skyping was very interesting here is a video of the control centre:
