James Baker’s conquest of space – by ladder
Initially, Baker was hoping to climb to the moon. But it turns out that would have taken him several thousand years. But after seven days, fuelled by freeze-dried strawberries and neapolitan ice cream, he’s climbed higher than Everest and currently has his head in the clouds. Baker’s real dream is that, if he succeeds, Nasa will recognise his achievement and designate him a real astronaut. He’s written to Nasa HQ and expects a reply any day now.
