Christer Fuglesang, back to Sweden!

25 January, thursday.

Christer Fuglesang came back from Florida. He came back around 7.30 am that day, and after arriving, he had a tight schedule.

Some schools got the opportunity to get to KTH (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan), and hear him tell about his trip to ISS. KTH is where he took the exams for the engineering program, and that's how hw began his career as an astronaut.

Around 10 students and a teacher from our school went there. I was one of the lucky 10, and one of my classmates too. We two where so excited when we heard that we got that opportunity, to see and hear Fuglesang live!

He showed us his own filmed video from the trip, and at the same time, he talked and explained how it was. After the video, the public could ask him questions.

There were so many people and many camera men from different companies. Even our teacher came with a digital camera, with whom he got all the way down where all the other camera men where, and he took so many pictures that he said imust be around 200 or so...!

It was very cool to actually see Fuglesang live, and so on. I'm happy I took this chance to go and hear him speak about his experiences. Not everyday thing, this is. (^^)
