Two teams of students at SIP No. 2 Experimental Primary School and Suzhou New District Experimental Primary School (Jinshan Road) Campus had the luck on May 29 to attend a remote video meeting with Tim Peake, the first British ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut, and ask him questions.

In the event, the astronaut who spent 186 days living and working in space from 2015 to 2016 was linked up with a number of kids in different countries and regions, and answered 12 questions from the kids who won the 2019 Moon Camp Challenge, an educational and inspirational project run by ESA and Airbus Foundation in partnership with Autodesk.

The Chinese students who garnered the first and second prizes in the Moon Camp Challenge with fantastic “Moon Camps” they designed asked questions about space junk and suits, while the astronaut answered the questions in a humorous way.
