Seems like a really humble and nice guy, wish you the best luck on the mission, Marcus!

[@hangemhigh7069]

Lycka till Marcus!❤😊

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Marcus seems like a good fit for this mission. Great so see another Swede in space again, it was long overdue. Hopefully, space will become less restricted in the coming decades.

... and ...
🤔 exactly where does SAAB 'enter' THIS story .. ? 🤔

[@elwhagen]

I guess your stamina wasn't that high, but in the third sentence he says he's a former test pilot and engineer, and I hope you can guess where.

[@ReallyFarFarAway]

@@elwhagen : exactly !!!
👉 former employer 👈

[@Danne89]

Nice attitude! He's still employed as chief engineer test pilot at Saab. Saab is the largest financier (company wise) for this mission. Saab have their own space division where for example Sweden's first astronaut Christer Fuglesang is employed as space advisor.

@@ReallyFarFarAwaySince Saab is a co-financer of the project and he's the former chief test pilot at Saab, which he himself says most likely has a big part in him beeing selected, I would say that Saab has pretty much to do with it.
