I have been waiting with this post. All the news and social media was so full of “Fearless Felix” that I felt thaqt I should not comment it.

Anyhow the event was so Important to me that I need to say something. You know, I did not see the moon landing and I will probably also miss the Mars landing. So this might be as good as it gets. To sit some hours by the screen and to listen how they go through their checklists. “Felix would you give me the presure inside, would you give me the pressure outside” etc. Wonderful.

Another aspect is the precence of Red Bull as sponsor. There has bee a lot of critic about how this company can risk a person’s life for a publicity stunt.

It was not just a publicity stunt. This kind of experimenting was earlier funded by governments but after the cold war they simply stopped doing things.

It’s important that private companies will fill this void. SpaceX is replacing the shuttle missions with private rockets. Mars one is planning ro send person to mars with private money and many other companies are funding space tourism.

Maybe someone also would like to pay my trip. Red Bull do you hear me?
