      I have and still do want to become one! I’m pretty happy with doing my PhD in space science, as it might give me a better chance at getting my astronaut application accepted when ESA put out the next call for recruits 😉

      Yes! I’d love to fly in space, as I’m living in what we call White Mars (an isolated Antarctic Station), I’m the closest you can get to living on another planet on earth. As I’m 32, on of the most important things is that ESA should strat selecting new astronauts soon, otherwise I’ll be too old ;-(.

      Ciao. Floris
