Hello everyone, especially all of those taking part in the Tim Peake Primary Project and Mission X! It’s great that you’re interested in my trip to space and my work aboard the International Space Station. I’ve been amazed to see so many schools, teachers and pupils working so hard and learning so much about science and space. I know that all over the UK, hundreds of pupils are having fun taking part in astronaut training activities and learning about health, fitness and science at the same time. Hundreds of people work together across huge distances to support the important work that astronauts do in space, and each of you can make a contribution today no matter where you are. The International Space Station is a place for collaboration and learning, and I love seeing your ideas – so please keep them coming. I hope that you have enjoyed taking part in the project and I’m looking forward to seeing your blogs and tweets about the work that you’ve been doing.
Thanks for Mission X

Is it possible still to get a signed copy of your books Hello is this Planet Earth? or Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space.
Thank You
Hi Dr. Peake.
My. 2nd grandson (Joseph Johnson) is finishing A levels and has an offer of a place at Cambridge. He will study engineering and is particularly interested in flight or space travel and I wonder if you could offer him any advice at this early stage. If you agree I will pass on his email address.
My name for the Mars probe is DARWIN in the Sky at night competition .
Hi Tim,
Thanks for being awesome!
Tim, I am writing a growth mindset for kids book and I wonder if you wouldn’t mind giving me a quote on how the power of belief and good old fashioned practice helped you be successful.
Thanks
Paula
