We all have our ideas, visions and dreams which we would like to see happen. Unfortunately for many, these remain thoughts and do not become realities. How does one proceed from "the great idea" to concretely executing on a large project? - Part of the answer is to "follow your heart and be focused," Per would reply. This presentation explores how Per Wimmer made his long standing dream about going to space reality. Through this presentation, Per will elaborate on his motivation for going to space, his "story" i.e. his professional and educational background as well as the various preparations for his three trips to space which will include his training preparations (incl. weightlessness training, fighter jet flying, centrifuge training, etc.). Per will also talk about the world's first tandem sky dive above Mount Everest, his involvement in the world landspeed record attempt and other current adventures.
