Astronaut Paolo Nespoli or
'Astropaolo' has set a new record for the amount of time spent
by an Italian in space, 6,000 hours, thanks to his past and
current stints at the International Space Station.
Cartoonist Leo Ortolani marked the feat by dedicating to
Nespoli a special edition of his Rat-Man space comic, There's
Space For Everyone, backed by the Italian Space Agency, which
will be presented at Lucac Comics and Games running November
1-5.
Nespoli, 60, went to the ISS in 2007 and 2011 and his current
visit has lasted since July 28.
