Tibor Kapu: I Am Part of a Miracle

It was a divine experience to be part of the launch of the Grace spacecraft, and every day since has been a miracle, including the moment we first caught sight of Earth, said Hungarian research astronaut Tibor Kapu, who answered questions from the media live from the International Space Station on Friday.

We really want the program to continue. 

 Over the past three to four years, many researchers, doctors, and other professionals have worked hard to learn how to select and train an astronaut.

"Space exploration is a tremendous opportunity for everyone currently involved in the field, and for future generations too," said the Hungarian research astronaut at a press event held at the Huniverzum Visitor Center in Budapest.
