- Book Synopsis
- Since I was eleven years old, I've been obsessed with space and exploration and rockets. I wanted to go to space, and I did everything I could to make that happen. Come with me on a journey to the stars! Dr Norah Patten is about to become the first Irish person in space. Here, she tells us all about her mission, all about space and the life of an astronaut: What is the solar system? How do astronauts travel to space? What do they eat up there? How do they go to the toilet?! Where will astronauts go next? And most importantly … how can you get there too?
- About The Author
- Norah Patten was 11 years of age when she visited NASA on a family trip to the United States. From that moment on she was hooked on all things space! Norah was on a mission: she wanted to learn everything she possibly could about space exploration, rockets, and how she could someday become an astronaut. Norah has given talks at the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition, helped launch the CBI BoldGirls campaign and makes regular media appearances. Norah is on course to become Ireland's first astronaut, and hopes to inspire and encourage the children of Ireland to dream big and reach for the stars!
