This Tuesday, February 25, at 3:45 p.m., Jesús Calleja and the rest of the crew will take off from one of the desert areas of Texas, United States. They will do so aboard the New Shepard rocket, belonging to the company Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos.

With this mission, he will become the third Spaniard to travel to space, following in the footsteps of the famous astronauts Pedro Duque and Miguel López-Alegría. Something that, as he himself has confessed, makes him especially excited: "Since I can remember, I've always wanted to be an astronaut."

"I told him personally, he knows it. Be very alert on that absolutely legendary journey you're going to make and here at Mediaset we're very alert because it's a great surprise."

However, this is not the only tip Iker Jiménez shared with Jesús Calleja: "I told him he had to take the camera and keep a total watchful eye." According to him, these gadgets will be very useful during his space trip.

"Who knows if the UFOs and drones that are invading the skies, according to so many recordings and images that reach Cuarto Milenio... Maybe you'll have the luck to see, apart from many wonders, those creatures or artifacts up close," he added.

Finally, Iker Jiménez didn't want to end his message without first congratulating Jesús Calleja on this great opportunity to make one of his biggest dreams come true. "We wish him the best and maybe on Horizonte we'll have the opportunity to connect with him," he concluded.
