Experience
Private Lobbyist at Clár Múinteoireacht ón Spás na hÉireann (CMSÉ)
June 2007 - Present (2 years 8 months)
Now that the recruitment is over for the European Astronaut Corps we need to do all of the
recruitment, pre-selection and medical tests ourselves to find two good Irish teachers and fully
prepare them with Irish Resources to be become trainee astronaut teachers for the Irish Teaching
from Space Program or Clár Múinteoireacht ón Spás na hÉireann (CMSÉ). We also need to have
our method of selecting our two guaranteed finalists be endorsed by the EAC. Some kind of deal
needs to be worked out with ESA so that the two Irish astronauts can become part of the EAC after
they have basic and advanced training from NASA and the Irish Government starts to pay an
acceptable dividend to ESA or the EAC. After the selection is finished then they need to be sent to
NASA for basic and advanced astronaut training. Then spend the remaining years before the Orion
Spacecraft comes online to get a national reputation as very probable future Irish
Astronaut-Teachers. This scheme is to basically have two fully trained astronauts with all basic and
advanced NASA astronauts’ training that just have not gone in to space yet but could start mission
training for a space mission at any time in the future the first chance they get. Their qualification of
being fully trained astronauts will have enough social high standing and benefit that there will be a
huge social build up to a final mission when it does happen three years after advanced training is
finished.

Interests
I like model making especially conceptual spacecraft, space stations and dioramas, I like chatting
online, I like getting clothes to wear with bow ties and jackets which even though im definately streight
make me look a bit like a poof but also make me look very different, unforgettable and very noticable.
You can look modern and fashionable, but everyone does that, its just normal.

2 people have recommended Kieran
"If you could add Kieran as a word at the Webster English Dictionary that would be as the synonym
of passion. Kieran's passion and dept in knowledge for space tourism was well known among all
the colleagues at the class of 2007. He is one of those few people that literally awakes, have
breakfast, lunch, takes his classes, have dinner and goes to bed thinking about space. Therefore, I
would not be surprised if I see Kieran in a couple of years working and achieving his dreams on that
field. His creativity is something that every space tourism company must have. Based on my
experience while working with him, once Kieran is motivated he will deliver great results."
— Israel Ojeda Coronado, studied with Kieran at International Space University
"Kieran is innovative and curious person. He is very knowledgeable in topics regarding history or
politics. He will cheer up fellow colleagues whenever they need support and help them out when
they are stuck. I have not seen such passion for space tourism as Kieran has. I am sure that one
day he will be the biggest promoter of space and space tourism."
— Alma Krivdic, studied with Kieran at International Space University
