0:03:53 > 0:03:56As well as getting excited about the rugby, and working hard

0:03:56 > 0:03:58on the ISS of course, he found time to speak to hundreds

0:03:58 > 0:03:59of school kids in Liverpool.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04And he had to answer some pretty tricky questions.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Hello to the World Museum in Liverpool.

0:04:06 > 0:04:07I hear you loud and clear.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Welcome on board the International Space Station to you and everybody

0:04:10 > 0:04:13who is following the Cosmic Classroom on the Internet.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Good afternoon.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16ALL: Good afternoon.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19What is your favourite button on the ISS and what does it do?

0:04:19 > 0:04:23This button on this panel here actually opens up

0:04:23 > 0:04:26the door to outer space.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Is there a possibility of a meteor or a space junk hitting the ISS?

0:04:29 > 0:04:35Actually, we do get hit by small particles every day.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39And, if ever we are in any danger, then the ISS will simply move out

0:04:39 > 0:04:43of the way and we will shift orbits to get out of the way

0:04:43 > 0:04:44of any space debris.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46But it's a great question.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49I was really excited for waiting for being able to go up

0:04:49 > 0:04:52and see him answer it live.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55What is your favourite science experiment

0:04:55 > 0:04:57on the International Space Station?

0:04:57 > 0:05:01I do like the vegetables and flowers that we're growing in space.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I think that's really interesting that we can start

0:05:04 > 0:05:08to grow our own food.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32The five-month old panda didn't stop there.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34After chilling out with his mum, he went on to do

0:05:34 > 0:05:35a spot of tree climbing.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39By the looks of it, he might need a bit more practice, though.
