Brits in Space!

Not one but two British astronauts in this edition of Space Boffins. With the announcement of a planned all-UK astronaut mission, hosts Richard Hollingham and Sue Nelson chat to ESA reserve astronaut Meganne Christian about astronaut selection, life in Antarctica and commercial space stations. They also talk to Tim Peake - the possible commander of the Axiom mission - about his new book, Space The Human Story, which covers the history of human spaceflight from an astronaut's perspective. Tim talks about his heroes and reveals what not to say in an astronaut selection interview.
