1:50 Soyuz-FG launch BlueDot English HD

The German ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst is for five months on orbit on-board the ISS already. He launched his #BlueDot mission on-board of a Soyuz rocket on May 28, 2014. To celebrate this event and his very successful mission we prepared a launch of a Soyuz model in the same configuration as used for his launch. The model in 1:50 scale is 1m tall and was launched with the power of five motors (Rakatenmodell Klima, Germany) climbing to an altitude of more than 200 m.
This video was also published on the official blog of Alexander Gerst:

A version of this video in German is available at: http://youtu.be/7mcEjulphfE .
We wish Alexander Gerst and his Russian and American colleagues success for the remaining #BlueDot mission and a safe return to Earth in November. See you soon back on Earth! You guys rock!
Update November 24: Another tribute video is available now for the launch of Samantha Cristoforetti and Co.: http://youtu.be/J3yxI-mo-pQ .
