Ádám Krisztián (7, Dunaharaszti)





We must admit that when fulfilling wishes even we, the coordinators have once in a lifetime experiences. Such was when Ádám met Bertalan Farkas, Hungarian astronaut.

Ádám knows everything about flying, space research so we took him to the Museum of Traffic where we observed the capsule in which our astronaut travelled. Zsóka Kerényiné Ferenc showed us around then „our Berci Farkas” arrived who by the way let us call him by that name. He warmly welcomed Adam and his parents and started talking about his –even for us, adults- very exciting adventures.

We were astonished by how interesting questions Adam had and all had been answered: there were hungarian foods in the space like pork cheese. The sleeping bags were tied to the spaceship at nights because of the lack of gravity and the sun set and rose 16 times during 24 hours...

After the chat came Attila Szabo the chief museologist who showed us the exhibition on the history of aviation. Adam also got some original spacefood as a present and a certificate signed by Bertalan Farkas and Valerij Kuszabov.




We appreciate the help of the Hungarian Space Research institute’s delegate, Ferenc Horvai,

and the director of the Museum of Traffic, dr. Mihály Krámli and all their co-workers.
