Question: have you ever been to the moon?

I would love to go to the moon! Only 24 people have ever been to the moon! And, the last time was in 1972. So, a long time ago. There are some plans to send astronauts back to the moon, but that will take quite a few years before it could ever happen.
Interestingly, astronauts cannot be too young to go into space as there is a very harsh radiation environment which could be damaging to people. So, maybe by the time they are ready for astronauts to go to the moon, you could be the right age!
About 500 people so far have been into space – so that isn’t that many either. I’m loving the job I’m doing now; designing things to go into space, but if I were offered the job to be an astronaut I probably wouldn’t say no!
