John McFall: The First Astronaut with a Disability?

John McFall, a Paralympian sprinter and surgeon, is aiming to become the world's first astronaut with a disability.

After losing his leg in a motorcycle accident, McFall has been rigorously tested by the European Space Agency to see if he can live and work in space.

The agency is hoping that McFall's success will pave the way for other people with disabilities to pursue careers in space exploration.

McFall believes that his journey will challenge perceptions of what an astronaut looks like and promote inclusion for people with disabilities.
