      Hi 321blastoff,

      Oh I do hope so! I’d be the first in line, cause I do lots of experiments…

      I actually think we already do have superpowers through experiments. Airplanes let us fly are the result of experiments, super-bug-killing antibiotics are too as are disease-defying vaccinations… Rockets can send us to the Moon and back, whole hearts can be transplanted, sunshine can be turned into electricity, and I can write to you on a laptop in Edinburgh and you can read it a split second later…
      Now that’s what I call super powers! Every single one through experiments.
      🙂 Sarah

      Hi 321blastoff (love the name!)
      I really hope so too! The fantastic thing about science is that we keep discovering cool new ways to do things and so I don’t think there’s any reason why in the future we could engineer people to have superpowers!
      I would want to fly…what superpower would you want? 🙂
