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

yes because if there wasn't money being printed we would not be able to discover the things we dont see everyday

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.
15 Nov 2019
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

Can you get sick in space
27 Nov 2019
Have you ever seen a alien in space 👽
27 Nov 2019
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.

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 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.
