What happened 2011 and what will happen 2012?Sunday 1/1/12, time 8:13 PM In year 2011 the most exciting thing for me was the visit to Spaceport America in October. I did see the planes and I did meet other future astronauts. I wrote a 6 -page article to Tekniikan Maailma in Finland. Virgint Galactic has done more testing and the most important tests were 13 glide flights. It will not take much more time for the first rocket powered flight now. There were 400 people who had reserved the flight in the beginning of the year and now we are about 500. There still 2 persons from Finland who will fly to space. The third Finn has not come yet. The first flight to the space should happen this year and my flight should be in 2013. Before my flight will do Zero-G flight. |
