      Hi Kyle n Keira!

      At the moment is space is still relatively risky compared to other forms of transport or living/working conditions on Earth. But one of the main reasons we do what we do: Engineers on the ground and Astronauts alike is to learn how to make space travel safe and routine. It is personally my dream that before I die… we will have achieved routine access into space for many people and naturally this would then also include children.

      I’m with Simon on this one – for the moment, no. But maybe in time as space travel becomes more common and safer it would be something we could consider. 😀
