  1. Great day for the parish, we’ve no shortage of space cadets

  2. I’m only here to read all the sarcastic comets..

  3. Excellent, I shall inform Starfleet immediately! 🖖🏻

  4. Samantha Cristoforetti was the first astronaut to bring coffee to space.

    Hopefully, we will see the first chicken fillet roll in space in the near future.

  5. Finally the Irish can lay claim to Mars like we’ve been planning all along.

  6. FFS they refer to her as “Ms Coogan” the entire time after stating she has a doctorate in Astronomy from the University of Sussex in the second paragraph. She’s *Dr Coogan*, she’s fucking earned it, so at least give her that respect!

    </rant>

  7. Belfast represent. I hope she has a swing of Buckie and let’s out a yeooo when she leaves earth for the first time.

  8. Wasn’t she the one who said she was British, wouldn’t claim her in that case

  9. She’s a UK Space Agency astronaut. Its not even clear how long she has lived in Northern Ireland, and certainly doesn’t sound like a Belfast native. I would prefer we celebrate Irish space achievements and not borrow those from the UK or beyond to be honest.

  10. “Would there be much work up in space now these days? G’ way!? “
    “A sure my two youngest are in Australia and Rosemary’s off to space”
