Dr Andy Thomas was the first Australian to fly in space as a NASA Astronaut. He completed 4 missions throughout his career, one of which involved a 141 day stay aboard the Russian Mir Space Station. He spent a total of 177 days in space over the course of his career, including a 6.5 hour space walk, outside the Mir Space Station. Dr Thomas is now retired from NASA and resides, with his wife and fellow NASA Astronaut, Shannon Walker, in Texas, USA. I spoke with Dr Thomas all about what it's like to be in space, how the training prepared him, how he coped with weightlessness - we even covered space movies! This discussion was an absolute thrill and I hope you enjoy it. It's definitely one I will never forget!
