Finland, "the youngest astronaut" p??ssee space in 2013

Vesa Heilala, Finland's second space tourist, is likely to get into space in 2013. He bought 200 $ 000 or EUR 151 000 paid for the mission from the American Virgin Galactic, the company in early 2010.

Heilala delaying their journey in October reached U.S. visit in New Mexico located in the Spaceport America Space Flight field, where the Virgin Galactic had invited persons have booked the trip.

I got to see the airport and close to the time the vessels. I met the Director of the Virgin's Richard Branson and the other astronauts, some of which take a closer look. Most of them are much wealthier than I am, but they still seemed quite ordinary people Heilala describes the distance issue.

Vantaa, P?yry's IT department, who works Heilala says most of the space paid trip to a bank loan, which he paid off every month. It does, however, harmita man, whom the mobile space has been a longtime dream.

- I became interested in space flight as a child, when I saw the color on TV Star Trek series and I read about Space Travel comic books. I'm going to smile broadly when I come back to the flight to the ground, he enthuses.

Space flight lasts about two and a half hours. Special-made aircraft will take the first of two pilots and six passengers 15 miles above the shuttle. After the shuttle ponkaisee own motor and space. Space Tourists spend five minutes of weightlessness at an altitude of one hundred kilometers, after which the shuttle returns to earth.

Finland has reportedly just bought two tickets to the Virgin Galactic space flight. The first buyer of the trip has remained hidden from the public, but according to the information Heilala fifties, he is a man. Therefore, Heilala, 45 years, the jokes to be the youngest astronaut Finnish.

Space flight booking Heilala were waiting to travel in 2012. Rocket motors, however, need further tests, so the first commercial flight is expected until late 2012. Heilala starting number is less than 300, and his flight to be realized about a year after the first flight.

- Some of the passengers already booked their flights in 2005, and their flight was supposed to be in 2008, so little time I had to wait for them in comparison. During the visit, came to know yes, that'd air right now. Swamp the airline, however, the test for peace: ten tests, rather too much than one too few, the future astronaut is reasonably argues.
