He is not first disabled astronaut Hayley Arceneaux is first disabled astronaut With title of cancer survivor
If he comes back with two legs we know he is The Thing.
Is he a freemason also?
Brings a whole new meaning to Space Hoppers.. fair play to the man 👋
One leg wouldn't be an impediment in Space.
*first person with a physical disability.
Get it right Channel 4. Lots of astronauts have had disabilities
British handicap space – man became the hero when he disable a crippling on board system preventing the others from going on a space walk – The Sun
I can see the positivity, in cheaper suit and easier mobility tumbling in zero gravity. He might be the first man to do a space crawl.👍👏👏👏
In zero gravity are legs a advantage?
OK, but why?
Who cares??? If he is the best man for the job then it does not matter, if he has taken the place of someone more capable just to tick a box then that is wrong and indicative of what is wrong with society today!
so brave doing a job with one leg that requires you have no legs hahahaha
Surprised it wasn't a "diverse" person.
feelings over facts. 2022
Keep making those who do nothing feel small, it's laughable seeing them try to undermine the achievements of their betters with disability jokes
Wheely good news
😂😂😂😂😂
What next, a disabled fighter pilot?
Okay …but why?
Came here to laugh at all the flat earthers displaying their stupidity.
I wasn't disappointed.
You don’t really have to be qualified or able bodied to perform in front of a green screen anyway !
Space is fake
The Earth is flat and Motionless…..
I so love that ppl buy all this, I wanna see his suit and one lead boot as he hops round the vomit comet pretending to be in zero gravity
Eh, barely disabled. He can probably sprint faster than any of us in the comments. Send someone up who's blind, or deaf, both if you're in a silly mood.
Good job you float in space.
This story 🙄
Let’s hope he can stand on his own 2 feet and not rely on others to lend a hand.
Im still waiting for them to send up the first gay, muslim, transgender woman with no legs and arms who escaped war in France on a Wet Floor Sign across the channel.
What a waste of money….there’s plenty of disabled parking on the moon, the money could be better spent ….
Fair play to him, but he is only an amputee, whilst technically true it seems a bit disingenuous. He can run 100m in 12.7 seconds, fair to say it's not getting in his way too much.
They are really clutching at straws here, let's send a real smart science person who is disabled in to space
Esa: but man run fast
Wonder which planet he will be visiting????
