Commander Hadfield made a charming Astronaut's Guide to Ireland
IRELAND’S ADOPTED ASTRONAUT Commander Chris Hadfield is the star of four new Tourism Ireland videos about the island.
The spaceman takes us around the country in a series of Astronaut’s Guides, which include an insider’s guide to Guinness and a few tips about how to excel at hurling.
From Donegal’s Inishowen Peninsula to the Wild Atlantic Way, Titanic Belfast to Dublin’s Guinness Storehouse, no stone is left unturned on the astronaut’s journey around the country.
