_45802504_0bc396cc-537d-49c5-9e9b-c1c7983bf33d.jpgDid you ever dream of travelling to the moon as youngster? Tim Peake, a helicopter pilot in the Army did, but unlike the rest of us he could actually get to achieve his childhood dream. He's been named by the European Space Agency as one of its six new astronauts - even though Britain doesn't contribute to the human space flight programme. .

To get the job he's already had to prove he's better than nearly eight and a half thousand other applicants. Major Peake begins his18-month basic astronaut training on 1 September. It's his first interview on Five Live and he's here to talk to you this morning. Do call 0500 909693, email victoria@bbc.co.uk, message me on facebook or here or text 85058.
