John McFall, a Paralympian and former NHS surgeon, has become the world’s first astronaut with a disability to begin training at the European Astronaut Centre in Germany.
McFall joined the European Space Agency’s (ESA) group of astronauts last year and aims to broaden people’s appreciation of what individuals with disabilities can achieve.
During his two-year training, he will collaborate with experts to assess and improve the accessibility of astronaut facilities. As part of a feasibility study, McFall will participate in various training activities, including sea survival and testing in low atmospheric pressure environments.
He has already experienced a zero-gravity environment to observe how his prosthetic leg behaves. McFall’s journey represents an important step towards making space more accessible and inspiring others to pursue STEM education and careers.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
