John Mcfall, who won a medal, officially completed his trainings with the European Space Agency and could be the first astronaut with a disability to visit the International Space Station.
Astronauts train as athletes, so they can stand the stiffness of the space, including the stiffs of the space flight, including and other negative effects of entrance forces, musical, muscle atrophy and space.
English-born Mcfall, after a 19-year-old motorcycle accident, a motorcycle accident made his fair share of sports training after the loss of his right leg. METER 2008 at the Beijing Olympics. McFall is simultaneously orthopedic surgeon.
He applied In 2022, an open call by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the astronautsThe human spacecraft allowed people who are the first time in the history of flight to a certain physical disabilities. Space Agency He especially wanted to try the expediency To have astronauts with disabilities and learn more about the obstacles available for them.
From the outside 257 applicants McFall, a disability, passes through each stage of the process, and all the demand that meets psychological, cognitive, technical and professional requirements required for the job. He even flew into parabolic flights and took the winter sea and survival training missions.
In addition, the liquid redistribution of physiological changes caused by micrografism and the muscle atrophy can affect how to fit in space. The astronauts do not usually need much in orbit in orbit, because they float in any direction and are known to maneuver in space, but not their feet, but still needed for certain activities. The research group eventually found no problem with this request.
Now he has officially completed the training of the astronaut and announced that the Esa officials are now on a place waiting list to fly to the International Space Station during the latest press conference. This would be the first to take it into orbit.

The situation reminds me of a science fiction novel who seized my imagination when he was a child. Blue Islands Artur C. Explains a teenager Roy Malcolm fairy tale of a trip to the Space Station by Clarke. There is a commander who works in the operation. Doyle, for 10 years, worked at the station without a desire to return to earth, because he would be in a wheelchair. It is free to go space in space and may suit small gaps that cannot reach other people due to the lack of lower limbs.
Although this fiction, research was held Potential benefits To enter people with disabilities into astronaut corps. In the late 1950s, NASA employed 11 deaf men – who is known as Gallaudet 11 – To help move inactivity and shape the future of space flight exploration.
Today, initiatives such as astroaccess allow people to offer many things to offer to offer people with disabilities with disabilities, which have access to perspective and parabolic flights.
McFall is still lucky to work through the Esa, which is still a supporter of variety among the astronauts. As we heard in recent weeks, NASA was ordered US President Donald Trump shut off its offices on the variety, capital and entry.
Everyone should be able to imagine freedom of flying in zero attraction – and is better to access space research, various prospects, skills, experiences and abilities.
