It’s a dream for many children, but what does it actually take to
become an astronaut? Science correspondent Hannah Devlin tells Ian
Sample about her trip on a zero gravity flight with the European
Space Agency (Esa). Back on solid ground she also got to speak to
Rosemary Coogan, one of Esa’s newest recruits, about the rigorous
process that led to her being chosen from more than 20,000
applicants, to become an astronaut, and what she hopes to achieve
in her role. Help support our independent journalism at
