The queen and husband Prince Philip visited Maryland’s NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre as part of their official royal tour of the US and were introduced to three space explorers based 250 miles above them in the International Space Station.
British astronaut Michael Foale - who gave Her Majesty a guided tour of the flight centre - explained the orbiting space station was directly over the US and would be positioned over Britain soon.
The queen replied: ‘That is wonderful.’ During the live video conference, US astronaut Suni Williams - who has been in space for five months - told the queen the station was a ‘wonderful place to live’.
She added: ‘We are carrying out a myriad of experiments to prepare to live in space for a long period of time.’ Russian astronauts Fyodor Yurchikin and Oleg Kotov were also introduced to the queen.
Kotov told her: ‘It is great to see you are interested in this programme. Thank you for this very great day.’ When space scientists explained their plans to return to the moon and send astronauts to Mars, the queen said: ‘Fascinating, absolutely fascinating.’ Meanwhile, Prince Philip was concerned about how the astronauts used the toilet when going out on space walks.
He asked British astronaut Piers Sellers - who had been on six space walks: ‘What do you do about natural functions?’ Sellers replied that he wore an adult nappy.
He said later: ‘It was a good question to ask. ‘I told him that I would wait for ten hours and then once back inside get someone to help me off with the suit and rush to the bathroom.’
