      My favourite astronauts are Kate Rubins and Tim Peake. Kate Rubins is a big advocate for growing plants in space and is a molecular biologist just like me. She was also the first person to sequence DNA in space. Tim Peake was the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station and to do a spacewalk, and it was so inspiring to see that people from the UK can also be astronauts too.
