0:01:37 > 0:01:39Tim, thank you so much for joining us at
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Newsround HQ.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Let's go straight in to the first question right here.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44What do you miss most about space?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Two things, really.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I think the first thing I miss is weightlessness, you know,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51floating around in space and the second thing
0:01:51 > 0:01:52is the view of Planet Earth.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54And I know we have a great question here
0:01:54 > 0:01:55as well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56What's your question?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58If you were to name a new planet, what
0:01:58 > 0:01:59would you name it?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'd have to see it first.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I think you've got to see something to be able to come
0:02:04 > 0:02:05up with a name.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But, yeah, I mean, there's loads of new planet out there
0:02:08 > 0:02:09and there's loads of potential for it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10What about you?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11What's your question?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, what differences in, like, experiences
0:02:13 > 0:02:15are there from Earth's atmosphere to zero gravity?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Wow.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I mean, coming back into Earth's atmosphere is
0:02:18 > 0:02:21incredible.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You get the re-entry, you get the heat, the deceleration.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Up in space it's really liberating.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You're just floating around and seeing the stars
0:02:28 > 0:02:30at night and the Earth by day, it's beautiful.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'm going to squeeze one more in.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33What's your question?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Who or what was your inspiration to become an
0:02:35 > 0:02:36amazing astronaut?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, I've had a lot of inspirational characters
0:02:39 > 0:02:42throughout my life and the first thing I wanted to do was become a
0:02:42 > 0:02:46pilot, test pilot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So people like Chuck Yeager and reading books
0:02:48 > 0:02:55like The Right Stuff for me was very inspirational.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00How cool was it to me to him the? -- Tim Peake.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01That's it from, I'll be back just after 12.
