South Korea's only astronaut
In 2008 Soyeon Yi became South Korea's first and only astronaut. She blasted off on a Soyuz spacecraft in a joint venture with the Russian space agency. She spent 10 days running experiments on the International Space Station, but as she returned to earth things took an unexpected turn. Soyeon Yi has been telling Matthew Bannister about her time in space.
