Irina Stonkus

Jeremy Front meets astronaut Irina Stonkus and gets exclusive access to the training facility for the first ever Mars settler programme. With special guest expert Dr Kevin Fong.

Rebecca and Jeremy Front bring us 5 new 'incredible women'.

Today Jeremy Front meets Irina Stonkus, soon to be the first woman on Mars. Having gained exclusive access to the Mars base training facility, Jeremy road tests some of the equipment used to train astronauts to reach the peak of their mental and physical ability. He wants to find out what makes Irina so perfect for the Mars mission, as well as whether he, Jeremy, could cut it as an astronaut.

Jeremy speaks to space expert Dr Kevin Fong to find out what is the best thing about being in space and what sort of qualities you might need to make the journey to Mars. Dr Fong also has to break it, as gently as possible, that as Jeremy has to wear travel bands on a local bus, he may not be made of the 'right stuff' for space exploration.
