Will Humans Colonise Mars? | Astronaut Tim Peake

[@greghill7759]

One instinctively knows when something is done well. No gimmicks, no excess banter and no celebrity scandals... Just another quality show from these two.

THIS is content. Please keep making these.

Fantastic interview. Tim Peake is so inspirational.

[@philipmulville8218]

Gentlemen, that was absolutely brilliant.

[@jobojoe1]

The way Rory phrases his question about science fiction (that he remembers reading sci-fi in the Victorian period) confirms my hypothesis that he’s in fact a time traveler/possibly Dr Who.

[@garethgibson5676]

Incredible, inspirational, and also humbling interview. This was a very insightful use of an hour, thank you very much for putting this together.

[@yachtekter]

The best interview I have seen with Tim Peake !

[@eliseleonard3477]

What a wonderful interview! An amazing guest but also such evocative questions. You guys do a fabulous job. The story about Mrs. Peake seeing an advert is the kind of detail that makes it possible to bridge from these amazing experiences to everyday life.

[@martinlawrence8427]

Superb interview. Tim is amazing, so humble, despite his inspiring achievements, and a brilliant communicator!

[@Rjhs001]

What an inspirational and modest man. Great interview and I'm so looking forward to reading his book which was a birthday present from my daughter.

[@Phil....]

So damn interesting. Absolutely loved this. Thanks Alastair and Rory, but most of all thanks Tim 👍👍

[@DyslexiaRulesK0]

Fabulous interview, love the debriefs at the end

[@caihughes8732]

This was great! Tim was intelligent, modest, and inspiring.... as predicted! I forever ask myself why haven't we been back to the moon as so much has advanced since the 60s.

[@isaacdalziel5772]

Well, humans are going back. For good this time, to set up space stations to orbit the moon and bases on the moon. And if the UK were still part of the EU, we would be going up there... hopefully we still will be, but the chance has lowered

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

We have much better things to do

[@Toni-qy6gl]

A great 👍 interview! Thank you

[@lauram3985]

Great interview!

[@quazimodointheuk1943]

Brilliant interview. What a great team you both are. Maybe interview Mhairi Black next.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Well done, Peake.

[@steve6121]

Fantastic.

[@tommonk7651]

I look forward to reading this book. I was 8 years old when Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon. I hope I get to see us back on the moon in my lifetime.... At 6'3", I would have never had the chance to go myself. LOL Great interview!

[@rosalindchurcher8028]

Mining the Moon, the thought of that is mind blowing.

[@tombblades]

I love space and I love politics, beautiful combination here! Keep it up!

[@nicennice]

As Rory would say "very good". I've worked on a few projects for ESA in a fairly peripheral role over the years and I can say to any young person out there that might be interested in working in the space industry, do it you'll have the most amazing career and work with the best people. It really is all it's cracked up to be. So get those A levels.

[@cosimocub]

he's the best

[@ArranEye]

Excellent

[@Kevin-si1es]

Please could we have ed miliband or Brian Cox the space professor even gary Oldman the actor or even Ben Kingsley isn McKellen keep up the great work love the interviews and the talks are very informative and sincere

[@mikedignum1868]

I always expected (as a teen) that there would be bases on the moon after the Apollo missions, and not watching astronauts playing golf on the lunar surface. The Right Stuff was a great film looking at the early days and why certain people were or were not picked.

[@annlvselvis972]

Excellent interview, I had never heard of Tim Peake before this interview what an interesting and varied career he has had to date. I was amazed to hear they may actually be going back to the moon very soon. I had heard somewhere before that Neil Armstrong was a top class test pilot before he was an astronaut, I remember staying up to watch the moon landing in 1969.

[@rorykeegan1895]

Seems you went back to sleep for quite a while after July 69 ...

[@annlvselvis972]

@@rorykeegan1895 very rude

[@jme_a]

Excellent but a minor gripe, if the video and audio could be released at the same time that'd be great. I'm always keen to listen to the podcast but find myself unable to wait for the video!

[@anneilsley7121]

Articulate, inspirational, wonderful & I don't have a particular interest in space!

[@lesleyegg]

Very odd that there's no full-length video of the Angela Rayner interview. Just a couple of shorts. Why do you think that was? Was someone making hostile faces at someone else?

[@restispolitics]

It's coming!

[@stephengreen6683]

Very good. How could you not ask him about his views on aliens tho? 🧐

[@CuriousCyclist]

I took a photo of the ISS in the sky using my phone with Tim Peake in it. Not very exciting, I know. 😂

[@MichaelBennett1]

If TRiP was on the BBC it’d be cancelled for being too good.

[@onenote6619]

I would propose that any wannabe Mars coloniser first do a dry run by taking a container ship full of people & stuff to Antarctica and bootstrap a colony for 5 years with no re-supply allowed. More air, more water, more sunlight, more resources, better temperatures - and I still think it would fail disastrously.

[@carrie4696]

Please update your language Alastair, we don’t say “manned”missions, they are crewed missions, etc.

[@krugerfuchs]

Should have been Grissom

[@RuthOmegon]

Hilarious that Allister has never used an iron. Although he's very capable of making a mess, he is unable to straighten it out afterward.

The USSR won The Space Race: they got the first humans into Space. The USA moved the goalposts when they lost.

[@UnderTheMushroomhouse]

Why not ask Tim Peake questions about Tim Peake, rather than commenting on other astronauts or Elon Musk for goodness sake? If you want to find out about Elon Musk’s mind, ask Elon. It may come as a surprise but Elon and Bezos are not special.
