Owolabi Salis acclimatising for the trip to space
Eminent US-based lawyer and politician, Chief Owolabi Salis, is set to make history as the first Nigerian to navigate the space. He is presently in a desert camp preparatory training, geared towards acclimatizing them for the peculiar experience of space exploration.
The launch, originally billed for June 21, 2025, had to be rescheduled due to bad weather. A new target launch date is expected to be announced soon.
The astronauts will utilize the benefits of the experience for fruitful research engagement in their chosen areas of interest.
“However for me, spiritual research is just that subject that irresistibly tickles my fancy,” says Owolabi Salis, who is also the Spiritual Leader of Soul Makers Ministry World-wide.
The Blue Origin has also released a symbolic trade-mark patch for the current edition of the space mission officially code-named the N-33.
According to a statement by Blue Origin, the travel trajectory would be accessible to all members of the public to watch on-line. (With additional reports by The nation)
