      Hmm…not really- I like our planet too much! Although it would be really cool to orbit round the planet, so I can look down on it and see all the continents, mountains, oceans and weather systems from above. It’s only when you’re far away from something that you can really see it in perspective, so I would be really excited to look at Earth from space.

      Interesting question! When I was really young I remember I wanted to be an astronaut… That didn’t really come to pass.

      The chance to go into space is one that so few people get that I think I have to jump at the chance, as long as I could come back again and not spend too long there. If I could go to one of the space stations and view the earth in all it’s glory… I’d have to do that.

      Moving to Mars… no thanks…

      I would love to go to space (in particular to the International Space Station) and run some experiments with my bacteria there but I think it is too costly for me

      If space travel became easy and affordable, then definitely I would like to take a trip to see the beauty and splendour of the curvature of the earth and the sun rising above the horizon as we can seen in all these cool pictures from space!

      Maybe, if it becomes a bit safer (and cheaper!). Right now, probably not. I’d love to be able to see the Earth curving for myself though
