You're live with Leah and we're about to go space crazy.

Mission control to Newsround. You do not want to miss this. Five,

four, three, two, one. And lift off! So, today's show is all about space,

because right now, Tim Peake is doing the final training he needs to

become the first ever British astronaut to live on the

International space station, or ISS. It's all happening

at a top secret venue... Hello, welcome to Star City in

Moscow in Russia. This is the training camp for all astronauts

that orbit the Earth. Major Tim Peake is currently here. He's the

first British astronaut to fly to the ISS. We are here to meet him.

There's training exercise of the day. Tim gets suited up and joined

by his crew members, who have spent years training. Now, blast off is

only a few weeks away. It is your last day of trading today. Where

will you be doing today, and are you prepared for blast off?

Today's job is, I'm docking for the space station re-entry back to

Earth. I think we are prepared well for it.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee shuttle to test his capabilities to the extreme.

They are going through a simulation of what it is like to remove

themselves from the International Space Station and return to Earth.

So whatever Tim is going through now will be the way he does it when he

is in space. This is where he will be eating on this table. And check

this out. This is his toilet. Nice! He will be learning how to learn all

the controls, and this is where he will dig his science experiments

from. When he wishes to access the rest of the space station, he will

do it through that whole. This is their final destination. The

International Space Station. In between his busy training regime,

Tim did get time to to to us. I have been in the space station behind us,

that is really cramped. How do you deal with that?

It does feel cramped, but you really get used to it, and this is only

about half of the whole space there would space station.

Hardier think this mission will change your life?

I think it will be a wonderful experience, and my mission is to

share that with as many people as possible when I get back, and also,

to use it to contribute to the future programmes. We are looking at

going to the Moon and Mars. From here, Tim will spend some time

in quarantine, which is basically like a seal house which means he

does not take any germs or infections with him to the space

station. I have seen some of the training he has been doing, but he

has told me that none of it compares to how he will actually feel when he

is living in outer space. Brilliant stuff.

Well, you guys have been getting just as excited

Loads of you sent in questions for Hayley to ask him,

OK, so how do you feel about being the first British astronaut who had

to the International Space Station? That's from Jessica.

I am very proud to be the first Brit to go to the space station. I was

also very inspired by Helen Sharman, he was our first British astronaut

in space. How long will it take to plan your

trip to space? Going to space takes a long time to

plan and prepare for. I was assigned to and a half years ago, but I have

been an astronaut or six years. All that time has been training and

preparing for space. Are you allowed to choose your own

food or do you have to eat what has been given to you?

Most of the food we eat in space is a set menu given to us, but we have

a small percentage called bonus food. This is the exciting food that

Heston Blumenthal has prepared with the schoolkids. There are seven

menus he has prepared for me, which I'm really looking forward to.

What are you most looking forward to and most dreading about going into

space? I am most looking forward to the

view of planet Earth. We have a wonderful Earth facing window, so to

go there and actually watch the Earth go buy at 70,000 mph beneath

you is going to be wonderful. What am I most dreading? Probably not

having a hot shower for six months! You can see Tim

cool facts about his mission Do check those out,

and while you're there, let us know what you're up to

for Children in Need tomorrow.
