      Thank you – I appreciate you vote a lot!

      I am afraid I have never been in to space! Sorry to dissapoint you, but those jobs are VERY difficult to get.

      I bet going in to space would be fun but I will have to pay someone to take me if I win the lottery.

      You have a MUCH better chance of going in to space than me. There are commercial companies starting at the moment to take tourists in to space for a few minutes and if this works then it will get cheaper in the next few years.

      If you become a scientist then your research could, if you are very lucky, take you in to space. It just depends on how much money peope are prepared to spend on space travel for research. It is VERY expensive. 🙂
