Samantha’s haircut at Terry’s space salon
On the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti gets a haircut from colleague NASA astronaut Terry Virts while cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov assists with the vacuum cleaner, making sure that no hair cuttings float off.
Samantha posted updates about the haircut on Twitter. She started off saying: “New Year, time for a haircut. Setting up shop at ‘Chez Terry’”. Commenting on this image she said: “While master @AstroTerry cuts, apprentice @AntonAstrey is at the vacuum cleaner”.
Samantha Cristoforetti is currently living and working on board the International Space Station as part of the six-strong Expedition 42 crew. Follow her Futura mission at samanthacristoforetti.esa.int.
