      Squeak! Monkonaut Sam here! Nice choice of name!

      I’m not in space at the moment, but I may get to go on a mission with the Monkeyland Space Agency next year – we’re working on research for growing bananas on the moon to help us set up a monkey colony there one day. Our missions last about the same length of time as most human astronaut ones, which is about 6 months. Tim Peake launches next week and is due to be back on Earth on the 5th of June 2016.

      Thank you for your question, Andrew and I hope you both enjoy the launch next week!
