Tim Peake: The International Space Station, Space

Astronaut Major Tim Peake wants to take Shaun on a wonder-filled trip to the International Space Station. It’s a chance to really get away from it all, to consider our place in the universe and to spacewalk 250 miles above Earth. Shaun loves a bit of astronomy from the comfort of his own home, but can he cope with the realities of being shot into orbit? Galactic cosmic rays, the very real risk of floating off into eternity and toilet trips in microgravity all give him pause for thought. Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence is on hand to help Shaun decide whether an extraterrestrial holiday is the right choice for him.Your Place Or Mine is the travel series that isn’t going anywhere. Join Shaun as his guests try to convince him that it’s worth getting up off the sofa and seeing the world, giving us a personal guide to their favourite place on the planet.Producers: Sarah Goodman and Beth O’DeaYour Place or Mine is a BBC Audio production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
