My trainer Petra Rossner told me just in February that I would have a chance to ride a moon buggy for the SEI to the world championships in USA this year as my performance is matching the needs. I’m very pleased to be invited, as I have a great chance to improve my English and meet new friends. Additionally I can learn a lot about NASA and about astronautics.

Already in Germany I got the chance to take part on assembling as well as dismounting the vehicle and I was invited to race the moon buggy several times as co-rider in the back seat. Everything was fun and I like the speed as well as the jumps that you can reach with the buggy. I’m fascinated about the movability of the big vehicle.

Before I was invited to the race I didn’t know much about astronautics, however I’m
very interested to learn more about it.
