Show Notes
Astronaut Major Tim Peake wants to take Shaun on a wonder-filled trip to the International Space Station.

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.

Producers: Sarah Goodman and Beth O’Dea Your Place or Mine is a BBC Audio production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
