Question: if you had a million euro what would you do with it (in relation with your job or something relating in what you enjoy)

Oh thats easy! I would go to Star City in Russia & spend it on Astronaut training, the first phase of it anyway. I would buy a ticket for myself on Virgin Galactics suborbital flight (or maybe X Cors craft). I would try out the ‘vomit Comet’ (thats the plane that puts people into a parabolic flight pattern, which means that you freewill for 20 seconds every couple of minutes, and this resembles closely to what weightlessness feels like in Space). Then I would go to the European Space Agency Astronaut Training centre & beg them to let me try their Centrifugal training device and do all the underwater training too. Then I would go around the world and visit all of the launch site for rockets and space craft. I would also go and visit SpaceX in San Francisco. One million euro in the Space business does NOT go a long way. And if you could all get me 30 million euro, I would give it to the Russian Space Agency, who would then let me buy my ticket on to the International Space Station- wow!
