The new date of starting the AX-4 mission with the participation of dr Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski is still unknown. Due to the technical defect, SpaceX has canceled today's start planned for 2pm of Polish time. Magdalena Korzewska talked about the emotions that can accompany the Pole and the rest of the crew on TVN24.
The AX-4 crew flight to the international space station has already been postponed four times. The new date of starting the mission, in which the Polish astronaut will take part, is unknown at the moment.
– Our Polish new national hero and the doctor have been preparing for this for years. This is his children's dream and he will wait. I am sure that he experiences it a little differently than we are here, because we need such a hero, we are waiting for a Pole in space. And we want to see it – said the expert in the program “You get up and you know”.
“It will be a reward that these people have been waiting for a long time”
As Korzewska noted, the whole event is very strongly turning up the media in Poland, which is understandable, because he is the second Pole in history that will fly into space, but at the same time increases our impatience.
– I think that when you are cut off at such a moment, preparation for such an important flight, then we function a little differently. We are focused, we are ready for everything, and on the other hand we understand many things, so cognitively, in the sense that security is the most important. It's not about flying. The point is to fly and come back – pointed out Magdalena Korzewska.
– Sooner or later this flight will take place. I also think that it works a bit similar, because this award will also be large. It will be a reward that these people have been waiting for a long time – added the psychologist.

“Not everyone can become an astronaut”
The expert pointed out that due to the fact that Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski is cut off, he was able to gather thoughts and not succumb to the restoration.
– I think this is an extreme situation in which you just have to be very focused. Not every person can become an astronaut – emphasized Magdalena Korzewska. She clarified that you need to have a specific set of features, i.e. The ability to postpone the gratification, the ability to deal with frustration, the ability to wait for something for a long time without reaching the prize.
– I suspect that such astronauts are taught not to quickly emotions and such to deal with broadly understood frustrations. I think that they definitely have to work with a number of psychologists who are just teaching them how to deal with the body, because when we feel emotions, we also feel them in the body, how to cognitively, or how to explain different things. I am convinced that they can simply be able to – summed up Małgorzata Korzewska.
