      I think if I were given the opportunity I would take it. The last ESA astronaut programme took in 8 astronauts I think, so the chances of winning it are really slim (even lower than winning IAS2011!).

      Have you ever seen the Milky Way from a really clear sky – it is amazing. The best places for viewing it are outside the UK and far away from cities.
