      I work on aluminium – the same thing to make Coca – Cola cans. The aluminium I work on is very very strong, though, and can survive going into space. We also like aluminium because it’s light which makes it cheaper. I think to send a kg of material into space, it costs about £20,000. Just for something the same weight as a bag of sugar! That’s very expensive.
