    Samantha Cristoforetti, on next 23th of November will be the first italian woman on space.
    She will lift off to ISS for a 6month mission.

    Did you recognize what watch she wear during trainig, official picture and probably also in ISS (see image above)?
    Thanks, Best regards

    Silvio

    Well, she is wearing the Omega X-33 that all of the Space Station Astronauts get.
    Just Like mine :)

    Steve is a space case. :p

    I hope another astronaut doesn't piss her off during the mission. Once you get an Italian woman's temper flaring, who knows what she will do! :eek: :D

    I wanna see the full picture of the Italian AND the watch...

    Is she 'hot'? Or would that only be on 'take-off'!?

    She looks GREAT! I'm sure she's an interesting woman, although rocket scientists don't always have the greatest reputation for personality...she's probably an exception!

    I was trying to imagine her by the end of the mission (6 months), when the hair would be considerably longer, and she'd... well, I better stop NOW..

    They all have X33's, except for that one Japanese astronaut with a G-Shock or something :)
    It might actually be a Suunto or similar, but I've never seen a clear photo of it.

    It's fun to play watch-spotting on the NASA Flickr feed:

    And last but not least: the Space Wizard casting a spell on the rocket. He doesn't appear to wear a watch:

    Not only does she go 'double barrel', she normally wears hers on the 'RIGHT' at other times...
