      I have to be honest here. I am a big scaredy cat. I am obsessed with space – it is my life’s dream to work on data sent back from missions which involve sending people to space or sending robots up there to bring stuff back…but I think I would personally probably have a heart attack on the way up there! I would love to brave this fear and go to the International Space Station, inside the lovely safe confines of Earth’s orbit, and think that would be amazing…but I would never venture any further than that. Seeing the Earth from way up above would be exhilarating, and I would love that specific opportunity, but we don’t have to leave Earth’s orbit to do that! I truly admire the bravery of people who want to explore the Moon and go to Mars because without the likes of these brave people and their curiosity, we would not know all that we currently know about space! 🙂 Would you go to space?
