Paolo is an Italian astronaut who first traveled into space on the Space Shuttle Discovery as a mission specialist. His second time into space was in 2010.
He arrived in Dublin yesterday as part of Science Week 2012′s ‘Everyday Experimenting’, and will speak about his career at his talk tomorrow.
Nespoli has also written a book, From Above the Problems Seem Smaller, in which he talks about his experience in space, especially aboard the International Space Station , and the life lessons that he has learned.
The aim of Science Week 2012: Everyday Experimenting is to demonstrate that science plays a role in our everyday lives and that every day you are experimenting. It runs until 18 November, and is a collaboration of events run by colleges, schools, libraries, teachers, researchers and students throughout Ireland.
