  Hello!
  
  Well there are two main ways to become an astronaut – the first is to be a really good pilot and the second is to be a scientist! I was never going to be a really good pilot but I always liked science… and then it turned that because i have asthma I can’t be an astronaut anyway so science it is! but that’s fine becasue i love that too… but if the rules ever change… 🙂
