Andrew was delighted to meet NASA astronaut, Dr Rhea Seddon, who was visting Spaceport to meet and greet families and take Q&A sessions from visitors.  Dr Seddon was the sixth woman in history to make the journey into space (she has flown on board the Discovery (1985) and twice on the Columbia (1991 and 1993)), and was visiting Spaceport as part of a whistle-stop tour of the UK.

Andrew told her he had previously met with a collegaue of hers, Colonel Paul Lockhart, when he had invited him to meet and talk to cadets in Ellesmere Port in 2004.
