We’ve got an awesome event coming up for Mars Horizon, our space agency simulation strategy game - a real life astronaut is going to stream our game! 🤩

We are super excited to announce that European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Tim Peake will be streaming Mars Horizon live with the Xbox team over on Twitch!

👩‍🚀 WATCH THE LIVESTREAM ON TWITCH 👩‍🚀

Tim Peake was the first British ESA astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS). His work during mission Principia captured the hearts and minds of millions. He has a background as a test pilot and a British Army Air Corps officer and he is also a STEM ambassador and best-selling author.

In April 2016 Tim ran the London Marathon from the ISS treadmill, becoming the first man to run a marathon in space.

One of Tim’s most cherished moments of his mission was having the opportunity to talk with the late Professor Stephen Hawking from the ISS. During their hour-long video call, they discussed many topics from their favourite music to quantum physics and the future of humanity whilst marvelling at the spectacular view of Earth from space.

Join the chat to ask Tim your questions and to win some awesome Mars Horizon prizes too! 👩‍🚀
