First Danish Astronaut Goes to Space


Recommended Posts

As you can see on NASA's website, earlier this morning Soyuz TMA-18M launched from Kazakhstan with ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, Russian cosmonaut and commander Sergei Volkov, and Kazakh cosmonaut Aidyn Aimbetov. This marks the first time that a Dane has been to space - this is important because Denmark is the country where LEGO was created. As collectSpace reports Mogensen is bringing some LEGO minifigures with him to compliment the other LEGO pieces already on the International Space Station intended for educational outreach programs. It's great to see LEGO working with these agencies to further scientific exploration, but what I really want to know is where I can get my hands on a minifig that's been to space!

Does anyone else want one of the Astronauts or Cosmonauts to throw a Lego minifig out into space, just to say that they sent one out there? Even though the minifig would probably not have a good fate, I think it would still be really cool. 

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Congratulations to the Danes! 

 

It's a shame that everyone still has to hitch rides with the Russians though.
