Buzztiger, 10 miesięcy temu w Australia Spent AUD $466,000 on ESA Astronaut Training

Some more information in the Guardian:

theguardian.com/…/australian-taxpayers-paid-46600…

There is currently no mission planned for her as Australia just paid the training cost when she did not get selected into the ESA astronaut chor.

Australia would also now have to pay for a ride to the ISS. The tourist ticket info I found was about 30 MUSD but that’s including the training I think.

she did not get selected into the ESA astronaut chor

Ah, a pity then. I wonder if she could reapply in a subsequent year?

Alternatively, I suppose there’s always a chance she could be hired by a company like Axiom or similar…
