“On Wednesday, July 2, punctually at 13.15 Prime Minister Donald Tusk joined … Kosmos. And more precisely with the international space station (ISS), on board which the Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski stays as part of the AX-4 mission, “reads the prime minister's office.
The unusual video conferencing was also attended by Vice-President Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Krzysztof Gawkowski as well as the Minister of Development and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk.
“I don't even know whether to tell you “good morning” or “good evening”. I don't know what time you have at the moment, but I want you to know one thing that we are all here we are already waiting for your return to Earth and to Poland“-said Donald Tusk while connecting to the International Space Station as part of the AX-4 mission.
The prime minister asked the Polish astronaut with a personal question about the experience of weightlessness. However, on our astronaut, the sight of Earth from space made the greatest impression.
“The state of weightlessness is an amazing feeling, but the most impression and stir caused me the sight of the earth from above. We were so lucky that when flying Dragon (manned capsule) to a space station, we flew over Europe and had the opportunity to see our countries, the European Union, Poland for the first time. I saw the Hel Peninsula-said Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski.
Polish experiments in space
During the Ignis mission, 13 Polish experiments in the field of technology, biology, medicine and psychology, prepared by Polish scientists and engineers, are carried out. These solutions can be used on Earth.
“I believe that all of Poland perceives this as a great impulse – that what you do, also thanks to Polish technologies, experiments and support, widely opens our window to space and an ambitious future. Therefore, I would love to tell young Poland how important innovation, creativity and courage are. Uznański-Wiśniewski Prime Minister.
In response, Donald Tusk heard: “I am convinced that Polish experiments – whether those performed here today, or access to Polish scientists and engineers to such facilities as an international space station, will be crucial in building our technological future. “
