Thank you so much Commander Hadfield (and Albert) after hearing those answers I believe space is a much more extraordinary place then I thought it was. I am so grateful that you spent your time answering our questions and again thank you. P.S. I love Albert
Thank you commander Hadfield for answering our desperate questions.
Thank you so much for those answers about space for the fact that I have learnt more about space.As soon as we started this topic in BNC I was so exited because I love to study space in school!
What do you think the most interesting fact was?
Hi Chris I’m a big fan ✌️
Would it be a good idea for astronauts to go to mars for a certain time
Has space tourism happened before or not
Thank you for answering one of the questions that somebody has asked from our school Commander Hadfield and Albert. That question was very curious to find out in my opinion. It's good having somebody by your side whilst answering those space questions.

i think we should spend money on space because there is money being printed every second and the goverment can have as much as they want.we should spend money to dicover other planets that are safe so we could move to them in lots of generations and be safe with sutitable things like weather,heat and lots of other things that mean alot thank you .
Thanks for this, alert_engine. Printing money is an interesting idea - would it be a good plan to print money if we need it, or would this lead to risks?

In my opinion it would make prices crank up
Printing money will lead to a lot of risks
I fully agree .I think if we over print money ,it will lose its value and become less precious ..We may then need to invent something to buy things
alert_engine | Whyteleafe School A 15 Nov 2019
yes because if there wasn't money being printed we would not be able to discover the things we dont see everyday
what does it look like in space
i know right how would it like

i think we should try send another robot to Uranus to try explore it more and maybe we can try make a better robot to send to a further planet to travel to i hope you like my idea thank you.
Thank you very much because I have learnt a new fact which is that some people can loose their life's and I thought only small accidents. Now I am looking forward to learning more about space and much more interesting questions.
That’s really good to hear, brilliant_fossil. What kind of skills do you think an astronaut needs to prevent these?
I think an astronaut needs to make sure that they are safe and just remember how to keep them safe
What is the experience like in space and is there anyway that people would be able to have a life on Mars that is similar to Earth?

The part when you would have to step on the planet your traveling to because you will float in the air a lot and can jump super high
Do you want to take part in the mission to Mars and if so what are your biggest fears and what are you most excited about

Does space inspire you? And why does it?
Hello, tranquil_robin it does inspire me because I believe there is other life out there
Can you get sick in space
Have you ever seen a alien in space 👽
question for Chris Hadfield - Hi, below are some questions and comments for space expert Robin Ince :
i think the most important thing is to find out, Are we safe? is an alien invasion possible? we do not know if they were to attack our earth to take over, would they really wish to bring us harm or perhaps they may want to be friends with us humans and curious about what and how we live on earth. is it also true that aliens intelligence capacity is far greater and superior than humans capacity of how much we can use our brain/intelligence. it could also be possible that aliens may help improve humanity behavior on earth using their method of how to live in harmony. will the unsolved mystery of this unsolved mystery ever come to light for us to find out?
also i heard when 'people' meet first time, they do not always get along - so why are we safe if we were to be amongst aliens? thank you.
How do you drink in space,because if you spill the water it will just float in space?

You could bring lots of water bottles because the water won't come out the bottle then because you would have a lid on it
Ha, ha so true should of thought of that before.

Do you think space tourism is a good idea and would children be able to go into space?
i love albert
charming_eagle | None 10 Dec 2019
Do you think CHILDREN should go into space
They shouldn't because they have no knowledge on space, also if the engine stop working it would crash and the kids would die because they have no clue how to fix the engine plus they wont know how to drive the rocket.
charming_eagle | None 10 Dec 2019
Do you like going into space
