Dirk Dries David Damiaan, Viscount Frimout (born 21 March 1941 in Poperinge, Belgium) is an astrophysicist for the European Space Agency.  He flew aboard NASA Space Shuttle mision STS-45 as a payload specialist , making him the first Belgian in space . Colin Michael Foale, CBE (born 6 January 1957) is a British-American astrophysicist and former NASA astronaut.  He is a veteran of six Space Shuttle missions and extended missions on both Mir and the International Space Station.  He was the first Briton to perform a space walk, and until 17 April 2008, he held the record for most time spent in space by a US citizen: 374 days, 11 hours, 19 minutes.  He still holds the cumulative-time-in-space record for a UK citizen. Frank, Viscount De Winne (born 25 April 1961, in Ledeberg, Belgium) is a Belgian Air Component officer and an ESA astronaut.  He is Belgium's second person in space (after Dirk Frimout).  He was the first ESA astronaut to command a space mission when he served as commander of ISS Expedition 21.  ESA astronaut de Winne serves currently as Head of the European Astronaut Centre of the European Space Agency in Cologne/Germany (Köln). Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973) is a South African entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of Canonical Ltd., the company behind the development of the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system.  In 2002, he became the first citizen of an independent African country to travel to space as a space tourist.  He currently lives on the Isle of Man and holds dual citizenship from South Africa and the United Kingdom. The Mayor of Derry, legally the Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council is an honorary position bestowed upon a citizen of Derry in Northern Ireland, who is in practice a member of Derry and Strabane District Council, chosen by his or her peers on the Council to serve a one-year term.  The Mayor is Chairman of the Council as well as the city's first citizen.  The current Mayor is Maolíosa McHugh of Sinn Féin. Franco Egidio Malerba (born October 10, 1946, in Busalla, Metropolitan City of Genoa, Italy) is an astronaut.  He was the first citizen of Italy to travel to space. Claude Nicollier (born 2 September 1944 in Vevey, Switzerland) is the first astronaut from Switzerland.  He has flown on four Space Shuttle missions.  His first spaceflight (STS-46) was in 1992, and his final spaceflight (STS-103) was in 1999.  He took part in two servicing missions to the Hubble Space Telescope (called STS-61 and STS-103).  During his final spaceflight he participated in a spacewalk, becoming the first European Space Agency astronaut to do so during a Space Shuttle mission (previous ESA astronauts conducted spacewalks aboard "Mir", see List of spacewalks and moonwalks 1965–1999).  In 2000 he was assigned to the Astronaut Office Extravehicular Activity Branch, while maintaining a position as Lead ESA Astronaut in Houston.  Nicollier retired from ESA in April 2007. Patricia S. Cowings (born 1948) is an aerospace psychophysiologist, and was the first African American woman scientist to be trained as an astronaut by NASA (though Sally Ride was the first American woman to fly in space).  Although she was an alternate for a space flight in 1979 she did not travel to space.  She is most well known for her studies in the physiology of astronauts in outer space, as well as helping find cures for astronaut's motion sickness.  Patricia found her love for science at a young age.  Psychology and later psychophysiology showed her how to enhance human potential.  'What better field is there than to study the animal who created all the other fields?  Humans!'  This love was further helped by her psychologist aunt, whom she considered a deep inspiration because she had earned a PhD.  Taking an engineering class in grad school where she took part in designing a space shuttle helped launch her desire to work in the field of space technology.
