That the Parliament congratulates the pupils and staff at Wick High School who recently made radio contact with an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS); notes that this was the most northerly direct educational link with the ISS ever made in the UK; celebrates the initiative and ingenuity shown by all those involved in this memorable educational experience, and recognises what it sees as the vital role played by Highland Broadband's roll-out of an ultrafast broadband network, the company being the only full-fibre broadband provider building exclusively in Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish National Investment Bank.
