Scotsman in Space

Recommended Posts

Looks like Virgin Galactic are going to fly SpaceShipTwo to space for the second time tomorrow. It looks likely that Virgin's chief pilot, Dave Mackay, will be onboard.

By my reckoning that will make him the first Scot in space.

Some other guy who came to school here in his youth has also been to space, but he doesn't count.

Montgomery Scott...

Fictional character from Linlithgow played originally by a Canadian, latterly by an Englishman neither of whom actually went into space during the course of their term as the character.

we could claim Neil Armstrong under the great great grandfather rule so often used by Jack Charlton when he was the eire manager
