    "I liked putting the learning I gained into the tasks which also helped me strengthen my knowledge and skills."-- Student from Edinburgh Napier University
    "Something that I truly appreciate from the simulation was putting me in plenty of real-world scenarios including the drafting of the updates and picking different options based on what was currently ocurring in the station or environment.
