With no live chats booked in today, the Space Zone has been a little quiet, but there has been plenty of discussion in the posted ASK questions.

Questions in the Space Zone have covered everything from whether it’s possible to colonise the moon, to why engineers need to know about outer-space. We’ve picked out a couple of our favourites:

Would we be able to colonise the moon to make the conditions good enough that we can live there for extended periods of time?

What do you think is going to become the biggest challenge for engineers in the future?

To what extend is relevant for us to gain understanding of outer space?

When asked what the engineers’ “biggest achievements” have been, Jessica says that even though her projects won’t launch until 2016, sometimes it’s the little wins that keep us motivated; worth remembering!

There are plenty of live chats to come in the Space Zone, but in the meantime make sure to keep ASKING questions, and VOTING for the engineer you want to win!
