The first one did it over 20 years ago. He wasn't official though.

AtW was too busy to endorse the effort?

Since she was a chemist for Mars he would be ill advised to eat it.

He is following in a British woman's steps but that's not surprising

Last words over the Challenger intercom:

Too subtle?

The 1991 World Student Games were held in Sheffield. Who better to open them than local lass and first British astronaut Helen Sharman, fresh from a trip to the Mir space station? Trouble was, more used to floating weightless than trotting round a track, she tripped and dropped the torch, extinguishing the ceremonial flame.
