Van Colombia tot Spanje en van Japan tot Nederland stelden leerlingen vragen over ruimtevoedsel, de hoeveelheid calorie\u00ebn die astronauten per dag nodig hebben en hoe het voelt om gewichtloos te zijn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWie zijn botten en spieren niet gebruikt, verliest kracht. Blijf bewegen en trainen - astronauten geven het nooit op,\u201d vertelde Andr\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>ESA-astronaut Luca Parmitano, de volgende Europeaan die naar het ruimtestation vliegt, werkt ook mee aan deze wedstrijd. Hij moedigt kinderen aan om samen te werken en punten te verdienen om de Missie-X-mascotte Astro Charlie naar de maan te sturen.<\/p>\n<p>Wil je weten hoe de ruimte ruikt? Wat gebeurt er als je in een ruimtevaartuig niest? Smaakt het eten anders?
