Dan Tani - Grand Marshal, 2009 St.Patricks Day Parade, Cork

My last post was of Darth Vader, so by co-incidence, here's a real astronaut!

 

As 2009 is United Nations 'International Year of Astronomy',

NASA astronaut Dan Tani, whose wife comes from Cork, was invited to be the

Grand Marshal for the citys St.Patricks Day Parade this year.

 

Rather than travelling the route by car, which would be the norm, he ran the route, crossing back and forth on the road to shake hands with spectators on each side. He looked like he was really enjoying himself.
