Meganne Christian , 37 , worked as a winter -over scientist at Concordia station, a research outpost on the southern tip of Ross Island , Antarctica .

She applied to become an astronaut through the European Space Agency in 2021 .

Meganne and British astronaut John McFall began their two-month programme at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne , Germany , last month .

Meganne said her dream first flight would be to a star system similar to ours.

The commercial exploration lead at the UK Space Agency said that once the ISS is decommissioned in 2030 , other space agencies will likely open their orbiting outposts.

Meganne hopes that it won't only be astronauts who get the chance to view the stars up close.
