Christer Fuglesang is the first Swedish austronaut and he's currently circling around the globe far far above us in space on the International Space Station. This is Fuglesangs second trip, the first one being in December 2006.
Back then I was really hooked to the whole thing. I was constantly logged into the NASA webtv-site and could both hear and see live what they were up to. The most interesting part was when Christer Fuglesang went on his spacewalks and I could actually hear his com-radio as he completed his mission (he even threw in some Swedish probably as a treat to us fellow countrymen :)). Who could have believed even ten years ago that this would be possible?
Well, if you missed it in 2006, you will get another chance. Tonight, that is Thursday at 23.13 (Swedish time) Fuglesang will commence his 6 hours and 30 m minute spacewalk. I don't know about you but I will certainly see some of it!
