The guests of our most recent Civil Academy, entitled "Survival training and space travel", were Orsolya Ferencz, ministerial commissioner responsible for space navigation, and Gábor Magyari, astronaut trainer. If you missed the extremely interesting conversation, you can watch it again on our YouTube channel by clicking on the video.

2024 or 2025 will be the year when we can once again send a Hungarian into outer space, the chosen one can do scientific work on the International Space Station. Aircraft design engineer András Szakály, development engineer Tibor Kapu, electrical engineer Gyula Cserényi and clinical orthopedic surgeon Ádám Schlégl are the four astronaut candidates. But only one can remain, like the Mountaineer. in the story of the film. Because only the most skilled, the most prepared and the bravest can win the opportunity to conquer space as a Hungarian. On the other hand, we believe that no matter who of them remains on their feet, human memory will make all four of them immortal.

The endless outer space seemed to be an intangible, distant thing for a mere mortal, so when we talk about space tourism or the conquest of the moon or Mars, we often just waved and considered it a hobby of the rich. However, thanks to the technological development that has taken place and experienced in recent years, we are at the point where space as a sector has already become part of our everyday life.
