BRIT IN SPACE WITH MUM'S HOME-MADE SPREAD

ABOVE: Nicholas Patrick loves his mum's food
9th February 2010

By Victoria Richards

BRITISH astronaut Nicholas Patrick says he could not have gone into orbit without his mum’s marmalade.


The 45-year-old Yorkshireman, above right, blasted into space yesterday from Florida aboard the Nasa shuttle Endeavor.

He is on a journey to the International Space Station, which is around 200 miles above the Earth.

Dr Patrick said of his mum Gillian: “Her marmalade is the best and I couldn’t have contemplated going into space without it.”

The dad of three will chart his journey, which will include fitting new work and living quarters to the multi-million pound outpost, on Twitter as @astro_nicholas
