Right, hello. Are you ready to get your mind blown? I mean, I'd hope so. You've come to the right place.

Now obviously we're pretty lucky because we get to go to Deep Space High.

A trip to the moon and back.

Or maybe just a short flight to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere.

These all sound like really cool things to do, right? Well,

there are a lot of people who would agree with you about that. Even though there are over 7 billion
