Chris Hadfield to recall a northside Cork boy's links to the Space Age

Ray Ryan explores the links between a Canadian astronaut, former US president John F Kennedy, and a boy who grew up to tell tales of Cork City’s northside.

A visit to Cork next Saturday by retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield will recall the city’s fascinating connections with the Space Age.

It will link US president John F Kennedy and his assassination 51 years ago with his country’s efforts to put men on the moon.
