A watch made from a space rocket… For two years, this idea gnawed away at me at all hours of the day and night – yet when I raised the subject afresh, my wife simply rolled her eyes.
Admittedly, it was absurd. But at some point, I’d come to be in possession of the knowledge about how one might go about acquiring rocket material for themselves.
In Kasachstan: Mitten in der kasachischen Steppe liegt der Weltraumbahnhof Baikonur. Dort starten die Raketen und fliegen in drei Stufen ins All. Die erste Stufe wird kurz nach dem Start gezündete. Normalerweise starten Raketen an den Ostküsten der Kontinente Richtung Osten, so stürzen die Raketenstufen gefahrlos ins Meer. Nicht so in Kasachstan: Dort fallen die abgesprengten Booster in die Steppe – allerdings in streng bewachtes, militärisches Sperrgebiet!
After lengthy investigations, I succeeded in locating a contact. What he told me sounded promising, so in April 2012, I set off to Kazakhstan with two friends. It was a journey into the unknown – and every day there brought new surprises.
