Shooting for the Stars: My Journey to Become Ireland’s First Astronaut
Dr. Norah Patten, Jennifer Farley
Since I was eleven years old, I’ve been obsessed with space and exploration and rockets. I wanted to go to space, and I did everything I could to make that happen. Come with me on a journey to the stars!
Dr Norah Patten is about to become the first Irish person in space. Here, she tells us all about her mission, all about space and the life of an astronaut: What is the solar system? How do astronauts travel to space? What do they eat up there? How do they go to the toilet?! Where will astronauts go next? And most importantly … how can you get there too?

I really enjoy space so this book was perfect for me. It was about Noah who was obsessed with space and rockets. He wants to be the 1st Irish person in space

I really enjoyed this book! It’s an autobiography about an astronaut called Norah Patten. Since she was 11 years old she’s wanted to go to space and is working hard for that to happen. In this book she explains about what you need to do to become an astronaut, as well as the training an astronaut needs to do before going to space, and all about the life up there in the space station! Learn how astronauts eat, sleep, exercise. How they “shower”, what they do to keep entertained, experiments in space, space walks, and even how they go to the bathroom! I loved this book! It’s soo good! :) I wish Dr Norah Patten luck in becoming Ireland’s first astronaut in space! :) Happy space journey! Xx
