EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY TO HIRE FIRST DISABLED ASTRONAUT.

[Amusing fact - European Space Agency was established in 1975 and headquartered in Paris.]

 The European Space Agency is hoping and planning to hire and launch the world's first physically disabled astronaut and several hundred ‘would-be para-astronauts’ have already applied for the role, ESA head Josef Aschbacher stated  that “The last recruitment call that the ESA has closed was for 22000 applicants .We would like to launch an astronaut with a disability, which would be the first time ever, But I'm also happy for ESA because it shows that space is for everyone, and that's something I'd like to convey.”. There will be a feasibility study taken place to see and understand how the person’s disability would be working in space and whether or not will they be able to do an astronaut’s job in the space considering the person’s physical nature.
