Tim Peake on doing a marathon and watching Star Wars at the International Space Station

Astronaut Tim Peake’s latest book ventures into the realm of young adult fiction with alien life protecting Earth from human-created environmental disaster

Tim Peake: 'we are just atoms of stardust that have coalesced into a complex intelligence.'

Astronaut, army helicopter pilot and best-selling author Tim Peake says: “Coming back to Earth is much harder than going into space” — and he would know all about the perils of gravity versus what he describes as the “liberation of weightlessness”.

He is a veteran of a six-month stint in the International Space Station (ISS), the first British European Space Agency astronaut to do so, and he would love to retrace his flight path to the space station and possibly beyond.
