Today I made an old dream come true, I witnessed the launch of a manned spacecraft.
The launch was very successful and it was really awesome seeing it take of. It was also very impressing as the sound reached me, some 30 seconds after take off.
unfortunately, the wireless Internet at my hotel is too slow. i will therefore end this update now.
Getting around 
Hi Richard, Gruß aus meinem Karlsruher Büro am Ende der Mittagspause. Bin etwas durch Zufall auf Deinem Blog gelandet. Da sehe ich dieses startende Raumschiff und denke: wer winkt denn da aus dem Raumschifffenster, das ist doch der Richard!? Viel Spaß in luftiger Höhe – oder doch nur auf dem Boden… Tobias
