      Hello NosikeA, I haven’t had the chance to go to space yet! The Moon rocks that I study were brought back by astronauts during the NASA Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s. The astronauts were properly trained to deal with space – like tiny amounts of gravity, no oxygen to breathe and very hot and very cold temperatures 🙂

      Unfortunately not, although it is always nice to remember that the Earth is quite an impressive spaceship that not only goes around the Sun, but is also moving at about 200 km/s around our galaxy and is moving with our galaxy at even higher speeds through space. Technically we are all in an amazing spaceship, travelling through space and time.

      Not yet but maybe one day! If you get to go before me, can I come in your suitcase? 🙂
