      YES!! 🙂
      I keep dreaming about it! I know this sounds cheesy but I really do.
      And I am determined to get into space one day, be it as an astronaut or space tourist.
      I want to feel weightless and I want to see the Earth as a wonderful, dynamic, blue and green marble ‘floating’ in the sky.
      I’ll keep trying until I achieve my dream….if space tourism really gets going we might all get to travel into space soon, and for less than £25000 if Richard Branson sticks to his promises 🙂

      I would love to travel into space, it must be amazing to see the Earth from hundreds of kilometers above the ground! It would be one of my greatest dreams to travel great distances to visit stars and other solar systems to look for new life and alien races, but I think that this is still science fiction, and we are still a long way from being able to do that. But hey, fourty years ago they thought devices that you could keep in your pocket to use to talk with anyone on the planet was science fiction – who knows what the future of science research will give us!

      Yes infact I applied to be an astronaut with ESA several years ago. I wasn’t selected. Dissapointing but there’s plenty of other things to do.

      Yes, I’d love to go. If you’re stinking rich you’ll be able to go into orbit in a few years. I think that in a few decades, people will take holidays in space and maybe even stay in orbiting hotels. I’d love to visit the International Space Station though, and watch the Earth roll by underneath. It would be awesome!

      Yep I’d love to one day, just to say I’ve done it and be able to look down upon that little blue marble of Earth. But I’d prefer to be able to go to the Moon or something… the ‘space tourism’ flights aren’t quite far enough for my liking!
