Letter: Aim for the stars

Published 24 October 2012

From Babatunde Okunoye

I was elated to read your interview with black American astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi, who recounted his journey from a tough childhood to his grand vision to democratise astronomy by putting telescopes in every country, including all the African nations (29 September, p 26). What a story. It highlights the fact that everyone can dream big and achieve those dreams.
