15/10/2016 Newsround

Hi, it's Saturday, I'm Jenny and this is Newsround, live on CBBC.

It is a special day at Newsround HQ, as we welcome British astronaut

Tim Peake to the studio, to answer your questions.

But, just before meet Tim, we have had a sneak peak behind the scenes

Ex-Newsround presenter Ore Oduba is starring in the show this year

and he wowed us last week with his American Smooth.

But what is he doing this week? Take a look at this.

It is rehearsal day, which means there is a lot to get through,

Laura is a member of the production team, who is going

to talk me through everything that we have got to do today.

Till about half past and then you have a TV Times shoot at 11

Then, you have got lunch and then you're going to

rehearse your block down and walk-through at one o'clock.

It gets more glamorous as we go through.

That's Ben, who is also a member of the team.

Jo and I are doing the jive this week, which is so full on.

It is fast, it is frenetic, but it is so brilliant.

But like Laura said, there is so much more

to get through before we even get to rehearsing that today.

So, I've got to do a fitting first and that TV Times magazine shoot

she talked about, it's basically Judge Rinder

dressed as a vampire, me and Claudia Fragapane

That is just the life that you lead on Strictly Come Dancing.

Next, Major Tim Peake made history when he became the first-ever

He spent six months on board the International Space Station

And Tim is here to answer some of your questions, but first,

we can take a look at his incredible achievements.

..on their way to the International Space Station.

This is the moment Major Tim Peake blasted up into space.

During his six-month stay, he circled Earth 16 times a day,

enjoying a view of our planet that few get to see.

On board the ISS, Tim had to overcome some new challenges,

like learning how to brush his teeth, take a shower

He also did a lot of science experiments and became the

first Brit to do a space walk, even taking a selfie

And as if that wasn't enough to keep him busy,

he found time to run a marathon, setting a new record

After six months, it was time for Tim to come back home to Earth,

where he landed with a bump in Kazakstan in Asia.

It is indeed. And he is with us at the moment. We have had hundreds of

questions. We will get cracking. What was your favourite moment?

There are so many to choose from. Going out of the era block to do the

spacewalk. You go out into this black abyss. For the first time, you

are suddenly looking down. How did you feel when you landed back on

Earth? We were just relieved that everything was all right. You

suddenly feel very heavy. Suddenly, you get called back into gravity. It

was a bit strange the first day. A lot of people have been asking how

happy your family where to see you back? Obviously, they were happy and

it was just straight back into the old routine. It was not as if I had

not been in contact. I had a video conference with them once a week.

What did you miss most about space when you were back on Earth? The

view. It changed every day. Every time you looked, it was something

different. Gabriella wants to know where you reverse gear? There was a

couple of moments. You are always apprehensive, going on the likes of

the spacewalk. It can be dangerous. But we are trained so will, if

anything does go wrong, we have training with regard to what to do.

But the best thing is to take that here and work out what is making me

skint and find a reason why you should not be. What happens if you

wanted to cry in space? Astronauts do not cry! But if you wanted to,

the water would really just the within your eye. It really would not

go anywhere. Did you ever shed a tear? No. Thank you so much for

coming in.
