Gixxuki Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 So I've got some time now to give you some more information about my trip to Kenedy Space Center. From the 1st December till the 5th December I met 109 people from mall around the world to fight for trip to space. Within that competition we had to do some training missions to figure out who are the best 22 of the 109 that joined the competition. The tests were such as a Zero-G flight in a 727, an Air Combat Flight in a SF-260 and a G-Force test in a Centrifuge. A internationel jury led by Buzz Aldrin rated us during the competitions. And I think I don't have to say that this has been the best week of my life till today. But what I relly want to say is that DCS helped me A LOT by e.g. flying the SF-260. It was just like sitting in front of my sim flying the P-51. I got 10 out of 10 point for the acrobatic and formation flying part. I mean I already had some real life experience most of the time in gliders but I think the main reason i won that competition are the houndreds of hours I played DCS. So thank you for that ED. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 When I Googled the name you provided, I couldn't find a single relevant page in English, so I don't know what this is about, really. Sorry; I don't speak German. Did you win some kind of trip with Virgin Galactic or something? Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

Sabre-TLA Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Wow that's Awesome! ~432 people have gone to space so you are joining a very rare fraternity. Good luck and safe flight! Take lots of pictures, write a book about your experience and you'll make your first $million before your 30. :thumbup: MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Congratulations, Felix! :thumbup: When I Googled the name you provided, I couldn't find a single relevant page in English, so I don't know what this is about, really. Sorry; I don't speak German. Did you win some kind of trip with Virgin Galactic or something? I'll translate a few paragraphs from the best source I could find with a quick search: German to become space tourist 24 year old German student Felix Stach from Hanover has won a trip to space in a competition sponsored by a deodorant manufacturer. He will be the 12th German in space. More than one million people from all over the world had participated in the Internet competition. Stach said he never thought that he'd end up being drawn as one of the few German candidates. [...] Only 10 Germans have been to space so far. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst is to be the 11th, going to the ISS in may. Stach emphasizes that his trip to space won't be comparable to a stay on the ISS: "Our flight won't take longer than an hour, we'll be weightless for 5 to 6 minutes in an altitude of over 100 kilometers. Then one may officially call himself astronaut." The trip will take place in 2015 on board of the "Lynx Mark II". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
