Houston, we have a hooley to celebrate
That’s what American astronaut Dan Tani did yesterday and the celebrations took on the flavour of a Céilí Mór as his Irish friends and relatives threw a hooley on Earth that reached all the way to the International Space Station.
With RTÉ’s Leo Enright as master of ceremonies, Cork Institute of Technology’s new science centre, Blackrock Castle Observatory, hosted the special birthday celebration. The event, which featured a live television link-up with Mr Tani, was a blast both for the spaceman himself and the space cadets on terra firma.
