I carried out various of experiments, and had to help take care of the space station – and travelling there and back I also had to help operate the spacecraft of course. I wanted to work in industry, and I thought that chemistry would be a better option than doing something like maths.In space you can do things that are impossible on Earth, mainly because of the weightless conditions.
