This is year is ending soon and now it is time to look what has happened. The most interesting event for me was visit to Farnborough airshow in England in July. The annual Virgin Galactic meeting was held there and it was nice to meet frieds again. In the summer I did buy The Finnish Astronaut car, which was in Apu -magazine in July.

Virgin Galactc has done more tests and the most significant test was the last glide flight in 19.12.2012. The rocketmotor was the first time installed to the SpaceShipTwo -rocket. WhiteKnightTwo flew 30 times and now it has made totally 109 flights. SpaceShipTwo made 7 glideflights and now it has made totally 23 glideflights. Some glideflights more are needed before the first testflight to the space. That will be a big news! About 9-12 months after that Branson will go to the space with his children. My turn is within a year after Branson's flight.

In the beginning of the 2012 there was 500 reservations made and now there are more than 550 reservations. We Finns are four now. Two has given their names to the media and two are unknown.

My English pages had 13 000 visitors and my Finnish pages had 28 000 visitors this year. I will keep writing blog to my pages.

In the next year I will propably visit the rocket factory in California. There are 5 more rockets beeing built. That might be the last Virgin Galactic meeting before the flights starts.
