“It’s not a childhood dream, rather a passion“. Julien Dambraine keeps his head on his shoulders, even if she is already a little in the stars.”With my friends, we got together promised to go into orbit before our 60th birthday“. So, when he discovered the European Space Agency’s call for applications on the internet, he thought regarding it, but not too long.”I was in all the criteria, I said to myself why not“. His file, among the 23,000 selected by ESA, passed the first screening, then he was interviewed in September. The European space agency invited us to Hamburg all expenses paid.
7 hours of training per day
Julien is now in the 2nd circle of the 1500 selected. “The answer must arrive in the next few days to make me enter or not in the 3 or 400“. There is still a long way to go to take off, but the plescopais believe it reasonably and train.”I spend my days playing sports, revising languages, I also learn Russian and I take flying lessons. I do this 7 hours a day“.
Towards Mars
And if by luck, Julien finds himself selected, he already has an idea of what awaits him following a long training. “The first mission would be to go to the Gateway, the station planned to orbit the Moon. And then _the final step is Mars_, the big adventure! The end goal is to prepare for it“.
