Show Notes
In 2026, Dr Norah Patten will become the first Irish person in space. Joining her on that mission is crewmate Dr Shawna Pandya where they will complete a research mission and travel on-board the Virgin Galactic's commercial spacecraft Delta.
The two astronauts have taken time out of their busy schedule as they prepare for this mission to chat to Pat this morning.
