Jesús Calleja has made history this Tuesday by becoming the first Spanish non -astronaut in flying to space and in the third after experts Pedro Duque and Miguel López-Elegría. A feat that has been lived with emotion from Telecinco, a chain where Carlos Fraganillo and María Casado have led the adventurer’s trip aboard the New Shepard rocket of the Blue Origin space company. Mercedes Milá, a good friend of Calleja, has intervened excitedly in the special.
Before takeoff, which has occurred around 16.49, with almost 20 minutes late, the journalist has connected from her home with the program. “I am nervous, but happy for him,” he has advanced, ensuring that “if we did a survey, Jesús Calleja would come out as the happiest man in the world. Without a genre of doubt.” “We will have to thank Paolo Vasile that moment of lucidity that he had to say: ‘You go to space'”, has celebrated. It should be remembered that this was the last project approved by the former director of the Italian Communication Group before leaving his post.
However, at the end of retransmission, the journalist has been critical: in her opinion, the broadcast should have been resolved better. “I have to put the occasional but the Americans. We have destroyed the show, because the sound has not been heard when the rocket went up and the smoke comes out on the sides. Or they had us deceived or ours, things have not come out like others, “he said.
In addition, the presenter has lamented that the moment in which the capsule in which Calleja has returned to the planetary surface has detached from the propellant that has returned minutes before: “It has not been seen when the two elements are released”.
The communicator has suffered for her friend during the minutes of delay. How can you have that lack of humanity, for God? “Has he criticized. “The nerves that have passed the family and friends“He added before being interrupted to see how the third Spaniard to get to space on Earth again, has sentenced.
The emotion of Jesús Calleja
The presenter has flown with five other space tourists. “The complicated moment has been back, because when the rocket poses, the sound is not heard. When the rocket has fallen it has been like a bomb,” David Jiménez reported, special sent to the United States. In spite of the minutes of delay, the flight has occurred without difficulties from the launch center one of Blue Origin in the western area of Texas. The trip has lasted 11 minutes.
Calleja has abandoned the capsule by its own foot and together with the rest of space tourists about 17.10 hours. Visibly moved and with a broken voice, he said that it has been a “fantastic” experience that has allowed him to fulfill “a dream.” “It’s fantastic. It has been a dream. It makes me want to cry. I’m sorry, but I have excited myself. It’s fantastic. It is important to be very well protected,” he said before melting into a hug with one of his companions.
