Published Friday, May 20 2005, 18:12 BST | By Neil Wilkes
David Beckham has revealed his next big ambition - conquering outer space.
The Real Madrid ace is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong and visit the Moon once his footballing days are over.
He told a Spanish radio station: "It would be great to have the opportunity to go to the Moon when I retire from football.
"It would be a real experience ... as a lot of players go into coaching after football. But I've already decided that coaching is not for me."
It is unknown whether Beckham's wife Victoria would be joining him.
