One of the questions that I was asked at my @esa interview was 'who is your favourite astronaut?' This was both an AWESOME but difficult question. Of course I am biased (as a Brit) but it's definitely between @astro_timpeake and @HelenSharmanUK!

The first British-born astronaut @HelenSharmanUK is also a @sheffielduni graduate (which is where I did my undergrad degree). I had the pleasure of meeting Helen at a cocktail party in Geneva a couple of years ago! 
And I also had the pleasure of meeting @astro_timpeake (coincidentally also in sheffield).
Tim Peake was the first @esa British astronaut. He spent 6 months aboard the ISS on a mission called Principia.
