Norwegian-Swedish astronaut in space: “What a journey”

The Norwegian-Swedish astronaut Marcus Wandt is on his way to the International Space Station (ISS). In a video from Nasa, Wandt summarizes the space journey so far. – Hi all. Absolutely wonderful to be in the room, he began in Swedish. – What a journey, it’s absolutely fantastic, says Wandt from the SpaceX Dragon 2 spacecraft, according to SVT. – I had high expectations, but not such a strong feeling of acceleration and speed. Marcus Wandt is the third Swede to travel into space. But since he has a mother from Gjøvik and thus also has Norwegian citizenship, we can probably state that he is also the first Norwegian in space.
