Looking Up - 21 September 2018

He describes something of his portfolio and what the Dept S&T does with its budget - which is phenomenal. This is a golden age for astronomy and South Africa is at the centre of it all, with the largest telescopes in the world, big data centres in the making, and great success stories.
