The findings come from a survey conducted by Harris Poll, an American analytics company on behalf of Lego, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission.

The results show that 30 percent of children in Britain want to be vlogger and 11 percent want to be an astronaut. In the United States, 29 percent of children want to be vlogger, while 11 percent want to be an astronaut. Meanwhile, 56 percent of children in China want to become an astronaut, while only 18 percent want to become vlogger.

The poll surveyed 3,000 children aged from 8 to 12, divided evenly among China, the United States, and Britain. Children were asked to choose from five professions: astronaut, musician, professional athlete, teacher, or vlogger.
