Finally Franz Viehböck is no longer alone. “It bothers me that I’m still the only one. It would be nice if another Austrian were finally in this club,” said ex-cosmonaut Viehböck on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his flight to the Russian Space station Mir the STANDARD. If everything goes well, he will soon be able to welcome Franz Haider, a compatriot and namesake, to the club. On Friday evening at 6 p.m. Central European time he is scheduled to start his trip into space with British billionaire Richard Branson’s private space company Virgin Galactic.
