Sunday buzz at Covent Garden

Joined hundreds of relaxed Londoners in the land of music, stalls, crafts and food at the Covent Garden market, before bangers and mash at the Nag’s Head pub.

Watch: a genuine NASA astronaut on Signal Hill, walking around in her space suit

While visiting the top of Signal Hill for the first time today, we spotted real-life NASA astronaut Catherine Cady Coleman in her full space suit. She’s spent over 180 days in space, including two Space Shuttle missions and work at the International Space Station. Catherine and her colleagues are in Cape Town for the 62nd International Astronautical Congress, which is being held in Africa for the first time in the history of the annual gathering.

We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her posing for some publicity shots. Watch:

Edit: Steve added a comment to this post, confirming that this was not Catherine Coleman in the suit but rather Candice Goodwin. Read more about Candice here.
