Question
Personally would you rather live in space or on the Earth?
Dr Jack Bacon

I would like to go to space but not to live there permanently. It is still a very harsh environment. I would like to go and see the South Pole, because it is absolutely technically interesting, a fascinating place, but it is such a harsh environment. We go there for the challenge of understanding the science that’s out there. I think our astronauts are happy to get back to Earth after six months up there.
