      Oh that would be amazing! It would be tough to leave my friends and family behind for that long, especially my husband, but I think it would be totally worth it. 6 months is probably the upper limit of what I would be able to do without getting too homesick. I am a keen photographer and I can only imagine how awesome the photos of Earth from space would be! Where can I sign up?! 🙂

      I would LOVE to!

      I know there are a lot of fitness and skills tests you need to do to be eligible (at the moment), so I’m not sure if they’d let me. But if they did, I’d love to.

      There would be lots of things about earth I’d miss, but I think it would be worth it. I have friends who have spent six months travelling the world – it’s fairly common. I could travel around the world every hour and a half on the International Space Station, so bring it on!
