At his short 19 years, the young Mexican Jonathan Sánchez Pérez managed to earn a place in the world of space aeronautics with his ideas, since he was recently decorated by NASA.
The student from the Polytechnic Metropolitan University of Hidalgo took second place in a competition held on October 20 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, thanks to a project with which he proposed the orbit for a satellite on the planet. Jupiter and that also proposed a power generation system for a colony.
As revealed by a report from the newspaper El Universal on its online site, around 45 projects created by students from different countries of the world (including Russia, Japan, China and the United States) participated in the event, held in the city of Houston. Despite the quality of all the initiatives, the Mexican managed to excel with his innovative ideas, which earned him a diploma from NASA and a laptop.
"I will tell them that it is possible, that we have to fight for what we want, even if it is sometimes very difficult," shared the boy after receiving the distinction, as reported by Televisa.
Jonathan, a resident of the city of Tultepec, also had the luxury of knowing first-hand some of the projects that NASA is working on, seeing the process of building robots and even sharing a few moments with the American astronauts Flanklin Chang Díaz and Clayton Anderson.
