How can I go to the space?
You go to space in a rocket, and maybe one day you can train to be an astronaut!
Space starts just above the sky, where the air runs out. To get there, people use a rocket. A rocket is a big machine that pushes very hard to fly up fast.
Only trained people called astronauts can fly on a rocket today. They study science and stay very fit. They train for many years before they fly.
Some companies now let regular people pay for a short space trip. It is still very expensive and rare. Maybe when you grow up, more people will get to go!
