If you could bring anyone to space with you,
who would you bring?
I think the answer to that really is I’d bring
someone like you,
someone who’s interested in science,
who’s interested in space, who wants to know
what it’s like
—and that’s because I want you to continue to
be interested in these things.
It would have been my mom.
She was one of these super adventurous people.
She loved trying new things,
and we had always talked about doing some
sort of adventure together.
I could just see her floating through the corridors
of the International Space Station
and doing backflips in the air.
I would take my best friend
because I know he’s always got my back and
that situations will stay under control.
He’s someone who’s extremely technically
capable and creative,
and working together we tend to come to
solutions that we wouldn’t come to on our own.
Who I would take into space with me if I could?
I would have to say it would have to be two
people, because I have two young daughters.
I can’t imagine what questions they have that
would come to mind
if they got the opportunity to float in a weightless
environment
and see the stars and see the planet passing
below them.
So for their curiosity and enthusiasm,
I’d definitely love to take my girls to outer space.
Thank you for your question.
