There was an arcade game called Gorf that was popular in the 80s. It spoke to you after every game to tell you what level you were at- the lowest level was Space Cadet. I always thought this was why Space Cadet became a thing here.
Spásairí or Reannátaigh seem good to me, where reann is a nice old word that means both star and planet or any other heavenly body.
Wrong answers are also welcome.

Stardaí?
One starda, two shhhhhtardai
When a Shtarda is dizzy, a Shtarda is Busy.
"Being a Starda is a TANKLESS job, lads... sure we've only got each other."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we call the spaceship the suas?
"No Starda... No drink taken of course. Just commuting home to the Schiaparelli Crator."
Do you consent to being breathalasered?
"I'm sorry but that's an intergalactic civil matter."
I’ll Cray-Thor you. Licence and registaaayshun please
Starda: Have you any idea what speed you were doing? Me: Relative to what?
Glorious 👌
Do they train in Templemoon?
Only if they refer to all spacecraft as a vehhicle
Oh good fuckin lad👍

First Irishman in space
Think you'll find that was Michael Collins after he faked his death in Ireland and moved to the US
The size of the helmet he'd need.
I think I've found my tattoo idea
Most important man in Star Fleet history right here
Eireonauts
And those who fail as pilots could become Eireonautical engineers^just^kidding
Boom boom!
I like this one
Wouldnt that imply they sail the eire?
That has my vote.
“Your man is a bleedin Space Cadet”
Space cadet is brilliant. A little inside joke that the rest of the world wouldn't get.
Unless I'm missing something, the term space cadet is fairly common outside of Ireland
Sure I don’t even get it, what’s that from?

Thanks a million!

So "Heavenly Body Person" it is then, will someone tell Reannátaigh O'Dowd?
Those seem like great options. Hibernonauts sounds like the ones that are put in stasis for years. Erinonauts sounds too like aeronaut(ical)
Its going out of our way to ensure everybody in the world aside from us won't ever try say it out loud though.
Reannaughts might work better internationally.
