That we now announce our para astronaut, and that isjohn mcfall. John mcfall has been selected using exactly the same criteria as all European Astronauts. But unlike any of the others, he has a physical disability. Now hes taking part in a ground breaking project. Being an amputee, being an astronaut was never really on my radar because like the military, you wouldnt pass the medical selection process. I thought i would have the skills, a mix of skills and scientific background that i could really help them answer this very aspirational question of can we get someone with a physical disability into space, to work in space safely .
