Summary
Joining us today is a man whose place in the history books was secured back in 2015, when he became the first Brit to ever walk in space. He's gone on to become a celebrated author and public speaker. We're delighted to be joined by esteemed astronaut and former Army officer, Tim Peake!
Tim is here to talk all about his remarkable career that's taken him from difficult decisions on the battlefield to the stars and how his experiences in space have helped him view the world differently. We also chat about the future of space exploration - and whether he'd put himself forward for touted missions to the Moon and Mars - as well as what qualities make a great astronaut and how advancements in space are crucial to the survival of our species.
