40th anniversary of Mirosław Hermaszewski's space flight

40 years ago General Mirosław Hermaszewski and Piotr Klimuk set off on a mission aboard the Soyuz 30 spacecraft. Poland thus became one of only four nations whose citizens crossed the Kármán line. So far, Hermaszewski is the only Pole who has been in space. Thursday marked the anniversary of his flight and on this occassion he received greetings from his fellow astronauts.
