      I’m pretty comfy on earth – I like my feet being stuck on the ground. I find it fascinating that we can send really cool machines out into space to go further and do more science than a human could! Being an astronaut is really hard – you need amazing technical, physical and mental skills and I have a huge appreciation for the amazing astronauts that do their really hard job every day!

      I would like to be an astronaut or at least try it out for a while. It is really tough training both physically and mentally. But I would like to see if I would be able for it!

      I think I’ll stay as an engineer.
