      Wow, good question.
      I guess being an Astronaut I’d love to go on a space walk and look down on the Earth – I think that would be really amazing. I don’t think you can appreciate from pictures what it must look like, a sphere, just kind of suspended in free space?! And to think that you would know there was intelligent life, computers, bananas etc etc down there…I think that would blow my mind.

      If space flight did really increase though, a trip to Mars would be quite cool!
      Oh, and the moon of course, I’ve studied it so much through a telescope it would be amazing to put my feet on the surface!
