Good luck where the Earth ends and the Universe begins! - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski wrote on the X platform after the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried the Dragon capsule with the Pole Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski into orbit.
"After over 17 thousand days, the second Pole in history has flown into space! Congratulations to @astro_slawosz, who today is making history – of Poland and world astronautics," Gawkowski wrote. He added that "this is a moment of great pride and inspiration."
"Thank you for your courage, determination and showing that Poles reach for the stars – literally," he noted.
On Wednesday, the Ax-4 space mission with a Polish astronaut took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried the Dragon capsule with a four-person crew into orbit. The capsule is heading towards the International Space Station. (PAP)
