A.I. on RTE TV News David Moore of Astronomy Ireland was today interviewed by Will Goodbody of RTE News about the return to Earth of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and two others of the Expedition 35 crew, Roman Romanenko and Tom Marshburn. Hadfield has shot to fame thanks to his interaction with people over the Internet throughout his mission, and he gained a special following by Irish people when he tweeted the first Irish words from space, and sang 'Danny Boy' on St Patrick's Day. David's RTE interview will be broadcast this evening on the Six One News. If you miss it, be sure to check www.youtube.ie/astronomyireland where we will have it saved after it is broadcast. We plan to invite Commander Hadfield to speak in Dublin in the future - stay tuned! 2.
