We aren’t talking about his ego, Sir Bob Geldolf has just confirmed that he will be traveling into space as one of the first ever Space XC astronauts during 2014.
Sir Bob released a statement saying:
“Being the ‘First Irishman in Space’ is not only a fantastic honour but pretty mind-blowing…The First Rock Astronaut – Space Rat! Elvis may have left the building but Bob Geldof will have left the Planet! Wild! Who would have thought it possible in my lifetime”.
Maybe he is thinking of launching Live Aid on an intergalactic stage? In any case, lets hope the launch day isn’t on a Monday.
