Samantha Cristoforetti ( - Present)

Italian Astronaut, Engineer, and Pilot

Samantha Cristoforetti, a year-old astronaut, though still young, is far more accomplished than countless others in her field, in her country, and on our planet. Samantha Cristoforetti holds the record for the most extended single space mission by a woman ( days, 16 hours).

First of all, these six great figures either attended very little formal school or did not graduate from college. Lincoln attended formal school only for about twelve months because the school in his era was still rare as he was brought in the frontier. Twain quitted from elementary school when he was twelve years old because he saw the school system in his era lacked education and learning. Edison attended public school only
