Wanted - new astronauts, all applicants considered

The European Space Agency - Europe's equivalent of America's NASA - is looking to recruit new astronauts who don't fit into the current norm of being white and male. And they could end up going to the Moon - or even Mars.

This year, the ESA is looking not only to recruit more women astronauts, but also people with disabilities who have always dreamed of going into space.
