THUNDER BAY — A problem with a newly-developed rocket has pushed the launch of a young Thunder Bay girl's genetic material into deep space from a May 4 to May 8 window, to sometime in June or July.Six-year-old Victoria Lehto's father, Ryan, owns Global Genetic Health and does specialized DNA processing for a company that rents space on rockets and sends human DNA on extra-terrestrial flights.
When Celestis recently offered to waive its $13,000 fee for him for its next mission, Lehto decided to send his daughter's DNA, explaining at he time "I thought it would be just something nice for her to send her DNA out into space. And she gets a certificate and a T-shirt, and will get to watch the launch" livestreamed online.
But that's been delayed to June or July, Celestis said, due to "a significant anomaly experienced by ULA during testing of the Centaur second stage which will power the mission."He told TBnewswatch that the postponement to a summertime launch means he will be able to take Victoria with him to Florida to see the takeoff in person at the Kennedy Space Center.
