University of Victoria wins latest Canadian satellite design challenge UVic student one step closer to realizing dream of space travel Justin Curran still remembers sleeping under a blanket decorated like a rocket ship when he was a child. It looked like the inside of a space shuttle with a joystick and all the switches and knobs, the 28-year-old recalls as he recounts his fascination with space. Planets could be seen through windows printed on the quilt-like fabric. While he may have dreamed of the cosmos while under that blanket, which he still owns, Curran is a little closer to one day travelling into space and living on Mars and the moon thanks to a national competition. The University of Victoria student is the chief engineer on a team from the B.C. university which recently won the second Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/university-of-victoria-wins-latest-canadian-satellite-design-challenge-1.2676321
