      If you’re talking about what I’d do with the £500, then let me explain.

      It is possible to send something into space using everyday stuff. I’d like to use the money to go and buy the kit to put something space and to get the public to help decide what is going on the probe that we send up. It would be a good idea to get some kind of smartphone and send that into space to record video or images – or something else.

      I’d like to set up a website to get the public to help plan and take part in our very own space launch.
