What’s up and what’s down for astronauts who are floating in zero gravity? In space is there a true north, like here on Earth? And how is everything complicated by the fact that all the stars and planets are moving? Sam and Rob talk about it and teach you related vocabulary along the way.
This week's question
Who was the first person in space?

Hi BBC,
every time you present about space, I'm really interested. If it is hard to think about a new story, here are my suggestions. Something about typing, lightning, recycling, movie, baseball, the greatest empire ever, Barack Obama, making paper, nuclear, the godfather of democracy.
