Join the National Space Centre for a Facebook live Q&A with Libby Jackson, from the UK Space Agency, on 4 November at 19:00.
It’s all to mark 20 years of astronauts living on board the International Space Station and might be a good opportunity for people to ask about careers in the space industry and/or the ISS itself.
Anyone can ask a question on our Facebook event page.
