One day before the event and I am not sure
about the location for the VR panorama? some philosophic thoughts?hm... What is
a time? It is relative term. On Earth is measured with the visual phenomena as a
sun position or moon phases or with the mathematical- human made tools which
use seconds, minutes, hours?or milliseconds, nanoseconds?e.t.c? but all is only
measuring something very relative. Most probably I will go out to the Space?not
directly but visiting small village about 100 km away from my home. There
is a Memorial centre of Herman Poto?nik Noordung. Have you heard of him before?
Herman Poto?nik (1892-1929) was a Slovene rocket
engineer and pioneer of cosmonautics (astronautics). At the end of 1928,
he published his sole book, Das Problem der Befahrung des Weltraums - der
Raketen-Motor (The Problem of Space Travel - The Rocket Motor) in Berlin. In this book he
was the very first who gave a description of a rotating wheel space station. He
introduced a spinning wheel station with a 30 meter diameter and even
suggested it to be placed in a geostationary orbit. His ideas were modern even
for a nowadays time?
