Mandla Maseko mal by\u0165 prv\u00fd Afri\u010dan, ktor\u00fd opust\u00ed plan\u00e9tu Zem. Iba 30-ro\u010dn\u00fd mu\u017e bol zn\u00e1my tie\u017e ako Afronaut alebo Spaceboy, ale svojej \u017eivotnej cesty sa napokon nedo\u010dkal. Spr\u00e1vu o jeho \u00famrt\u00ed v\u010dera priniesli svetov\u00e9 m\u00e9di\u00e1 s odvolan\u00edm sa na Masekovu rodinu.<\/p>\n
Maseko bol ob\u010danom juhoafrickej republiky, \u017eil na predmest\u00ed v Pret\u00f3rii a pracoval ako pr\u00edle\u017eitostn\u00fd d\u00edd\u017eej. Celkom nezvy\u010dajn\u00e9 povolanie pre astronauta, len\u017ee pr\u00e1ve to bolo pre mlad\u00e9ho \u010dloveka k\u013e\u00fa\u010dov\u00e9. Maseko sa stal symbolom odhodlanosti a vytrvalosti, s\u00e1m tvrdil, \u017ee\u00a0chcel motivova\u0165 a in\u0161pirova\u0165 mlad\u00fdch \u013eud\u00ed v Afrike.<\/p>\n
Z\u00e1mer posla\u0165 Madla Maseka do vesm\u00edru vznikol e\u0161te v roku 2013, kedy \u201evyhral\u201c testy spomedzi 23 kandid\u00e1tov na \u00fa\u010das\u0165 na vesm\u00edrnej misii na lodi Lynx Mark.<\/p>\n
Jednalo sa s\u00edce iba o hodinov\u00fd let mimo plan\u00e9ty, ale pre \u010derno\u0161sk\u00e9 komunity na celom svete sa jednalo o v\u00fdznamn\u00fd historick\u00fd m\u00ed\u013enik aj napriek tomu, \u017ee NASA v minulosti do zrealizovan\u00fdch vesm\u00edrnych misi\u00ed obsadila u\u017e 14 Afroameri\u010danov a \u010fal\u0161\u00edch sedem nakoniec neletelo.\u00a0Prv\u00fdm bol\u00a0Guion Bluford\u00a0v roku 1983, zatia\u013e posledn\u00fdm\u00a0Robert Satcher v roku 2009.<\/p>\n
V\u0161etci v\u0161ak boli ob\u010danmi Spojen\u00fdch \u0161t\u00e1tov Americk\u00fdch, Maseka bol ob\u010danom Juhoafrickej republiky.<\/p>\n
\u201ePred pl\u00e1novan\u00fdm letom potom Mandla Maseko musel absolvova\u0165 n\u00e1ro\u010dn\u00fd v\u00fdcvik v Kennedyho vesm\u00edrnej akad\u00e9mii na Floride, ktor\u00fd zah\u0155\u0148al skoky na vo\u013enom p\u00e1de \u010di lety na palube st\u00edhac\u00edch lietadiel, a tr\u00e9nova\u0165 odolnos\u0165 vo\u010di zr\u00fdchleniu,\u201c uv\u00e1dza TA3.<\/p>\n
Let sa mal uskuto\u010dni\u0165 e\u0161te v roku 2015, jednalo sa o projekt\u00a0Axe Apollo Space Academy, na ktor\u00fd si mo\u017eno e\u0161te spom\u00ednate v\u010faka telev\u00edznym reklam\u00e1m. I\u0161lo o kampa\u0148 ve\u013ekej zna\u010dky vyr\u00e1baj\u00facej p\u00e1nske v\u00f4ne, antiperspiranty a dezodoranty. Nakoniec sa v\u0161ak let neskuto\u010dnil, dnes m\u00e1me rok 2019 a o eventu\u00e1lnom o\u017eiven\u00ed projektu nem\u00e1me \u017eiadne inform\u00e1cie.<\/p>\n
Mandla Maseko zahynul v sobotu 6. j\u00fala 2019 po hav\u00e1rii na motorke.<\/p>\n
