A Paralympian from Surrey has become the world's first disabled astronaut. And John McFall has said his selection will send a "powerful" message about what people with disabilities can achieve.

The former surgeon will travel to Germany to begin feasibility studies at the European Astronaut Centre. He joined the latest European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut cohort last year after a rigorous selection process and record UK Space Agency investment into the ESA.
