Ke\u010f ste mali 13 rokov, nap\u00edsali ste list do\u00a0NASA. Chceli ste vedie\u0165, ako sa mo\u017eno s\u0165a\u0165 astronautom. Pre\u010do v\u00e1s o\u010daril pr\u00e1ve vesm\u00edr?<\/b><\/span>

\nMalo to nieko\u013eko d\u00f4vodov. V prvom rade, v\u017edy ma zauj\u00edmalo lietanie. A raketopl\u00e1n je asi t\u00e1 najdokonalej\u0161ia vec, na\u00a0akej sa d\u00e1 lieta\u0165. Po\u010das prv\u00e9ho prist\u00e1tia \u010dloveka na\u00a0Mesiaci som mal osem mesiacov, \u010di\u017ee sa na to nem\u00f4\u017eem priamo pam\u00e4ta\u0165, ale videl som ve\u013ea z\u00e1berov z\u00a0tejto misie. Okrem toho si spom\u00ednam na\u00a0jeden ve\u010der v\u00a0z\u00e1hrade za\u00a0na\u0161\u00edm domom. Kr\u00e1sna jasn\u00e1 noc a\u00a0nad\u00a0nami bolo plno hviezd. Oh\u00farilo ma, ke\u010f som si uvedomil, ako \u010faleko od\u00a0n\u00e1s s\u00fa a\u00a0ak\u00fd je vesm\u00edr ve\u013ek\u00fd. V\u017edy som si myslel, \u017ee by bolo \u00fa\u017easn\u00e9 sta\u0165 sa vesm\u00edrnym b\u00e1date\u013eom. <\/p>\n

Vo va\u0161ej prezent\u00e1ci\u00ed sme videli ve\u013ea \u010darovn\u00fdch obr\u00e1zkov Zeme z\u00a0vesm\u00edru, pol\u00e1rnej \u017eiary, v\u00fdchodov i\u00a0z\u00e1padov Slnka a\u00a0podobne. M\u00e1te pri\u00a0v\u0161etk\u00fdch t\u00fdch povinnostiach tam hore v\u00f4bec \u010das vychutna\u0165 si a\u00a0naplno pre\u017ei\u0165 kr\u00e1sy vesm\u00edru?<\/b><\/p>\n

To je dobr\u00e1 ot\u00e1zka. Po\u010das be\u017en\u00e9ho pracovn\u00e9ho d\u0148a si ani doma nemus\u00edte v\u0161imn\u00fa\u0165 v\u00fdchod \u010di z\u00e1pad slnka, nepozriete sa na\u00a0hviezdy, mesiac alebo kvety. Jednoducho, ste pr\u00edli\u0161 zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00fd. Ja sa v\u0161ak sna\u017e\u00edm aj po\u010das be\u017en\u00fdch dn\u00ed tu na Zemi zastavi\u0165 a\u00a0v\u0161\u00edma\u0165 si tieto veci, preto\u017ee aj v\u00a0nich vid\u00edm Bo\u017eiu ruku. Niekedy idem r\u00e1no do\u00a0pr\u00e1ce a\u00a0prem\u00fd\u0161\u013eam nad\u00a0povinnos\u0165ami, no potom vzhliadnem k\u00a0oblakom alebo k\u00a0v\u00fdchodu slnka, zrazu sa zastav\u00edm a\u00a0chv\u00e1lim Boha za\u00a0jeho stvorenie. Podobne to fungovalo aj na\u00a0Medzin\u00e1rodnej vesm\u00edrnej stanici. Boli sme ve\u013emi zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00ed, no medzi jednotliv\u00fdmi \u00falohami m\u00e1te trochu \u010dasu. M\u00f4\u017eete bu\u010f prem\u00fd\u0161\u013ea\u0165 o\u00a0nasleduj\u00facej \u00falohe alebo si d\u00e1te pauzu. \u010casto som vyu\u017e\u00edval mo\u017enos\u0165 \u00eds\u0165 na p\u00e1r min\u00fat k\u00a0oknu…<\/p>\n

A \u010do\u00a0strach a\u00a0nebezpe\u010denstvo? Mysl\u00edte ob\u010das aj na\u00a0rizik\u00e1 misie, pr\u00edpadne nad\u00a0t\u00fdm, \u010do\u00a0v\u0161etko by sa mohlo pokazi\u0165?<\/b><\/p>\n

Priamo vo\u00a0vesm\u00edre si starosti nerob\u00edm. No mus\u00edm poveda\u0165, \u017ee\u00a0ist\u00fa zranite\u013enos\u0165 som si uvedomoval. Je to podmienen\u00e9 t\u00fdm, \u017ee\u00a0ste obklopen\u00fd ve\u013emi nepriate\u013esk\u00fdm prostred\u00edm, ktor\u00e9 neodp\u00fa\u0161\u0165a \u017eiadnu chybu. Tak\u017ee ur\u010dit\u00e9 vedomie rizika tu bolo. A ke\u010f sme potom prist\u00e1li na\u00a0Zemi, poc\u00edtil som \u00fa\u013eavu. <\/p>\n

\u010co pre\u00a0v\u00e1s osobne znamen\u00e1 viera?<\/b><\/p>\n

Viera je pre\u00a0m\u0148a v\u0161etk\u00fdm. Ver\u00edm, \u017ee\u00a0Boh ma stvoril a \u017ee to urobil s ur\u010dit\u00fdm cie\u013eom. Tak ako ka\u017ed\u00e9ho \u010dloveka. Uvedomil som si, \u017ee\u00a0tu, na\u00a0Zemi, m\u00e1me tendenciu s niek\u00fdm zaobch\u00e1dza\u0165 lep\u0161ie, ne\u017e si zasl\u00fa\u017ei. Vid\u00edm to aj na\u00a0sebe. \u013dudia sa ku\u00a0mne spr\u00e1vaj\u00fa lep\u0161ie len preto, \u017ee\u00a0som bol vo\u00a0vesm\u00edre. K\u00a0in\u00fdm sa zase spr\u00e1vame hor\u0161ie, ako si zasl\u00fa\u017eia, lebo s\u00fa hendikepovan\u00ed alebo z\u00a0in\u00e9ho d\u00f4vodu. No aj oni s\u00fa jedine\u010dn\u00fdmi Bo\u017e\u00edmi stvoreniami. Mysl\u00edm si, \u017ee\u00a0\u017eivotu d\u00e1va kone\u010dn\u00fa hodnotu pochopenie, \u017ee\u00a0Boh n\u00e1s stvoril a\u00a0miluje n\u00e1s. No urobil z\u00a0n\u00e1s tie\u017e slobodn\u00e9 bytosti. Nevnucuje n\u00e1m svoju v\u00f4\u013eu. Poslal sem svojho syna, Je\u017ei\u0161a Krista, aby zaplatil za\u00a0na\u0161e hriechy, ale\u00a0ka\u017ed\u00fd \u010dlovek m\u00e1 slobodn\u00fa v\u00f4\u013eu tento dar milosti akceptova\u0165 alebo nie. <\/p>\n

Niektor\u00ed astronauti mali probl\u00e9m vyrovna\u0165 sa s\u00a0n\u00e1hle nadobudnutou sl\u00e1vou. Stali sa z\u00a0nich alkoholici, za\u010dali ma\u0165 psychick\u00e9 probl\u00e9my. Pom\u00e1ha v\u00e1m viera aj v tomto zmysle zosta\u0165 norm\u00e1lnym?<\/b><\/p>\n

Jednozna\u010dne. Viera v\u00e1s uzem\u0148uje. Jeden z\u00a0mojich kres\u0165ansk\u00fdch kolegov v\u00a0NASA mi povedal: \u201e\u013dudia sa k\u00a0tebe po\u00a0n\u00e1vrate za\u010dn\u00fa chova\u0165 ve\u013emi \u0161peci\u00e1lnym sp\u00f4sobom. Ak za\u010dne\u0161 veri\u0165, \u017ee\u00a0si nie\u010do mimoriadne, tak m\u00e1\u0161 probl\u00e9my.\u201c Ako mnoh\u00e9 filmov\u00e9 hviezdy, sl\u00e1vni \u0161portovci \u010di \u013eudia, ktor\u00ed n\u00e1hle zbohatli. Stali sa ich \u017eivoty \u0161\u0165astnej\u0161\u00edmi? Prekvapuj\u00facou odpove\u010fou je, \u017ee\u00a0vo\u00a0v\u00e4\u010d\u0161ine pr\u00edpadov nie. Bohatstvo a\u00a0sl\u00e1va m\u00f4\u017eu \u017eivot \u010dloveka rozvr\u00e1ti\u0165. Pokoj a\u00a0\u00fatechu, ktor\u00e9 ka\u017ed\u00fd z\u00a0n\u00e1s h\u013ead\u00e1, toti\u017e v\u00a0t\u00fdchto veciach nen\u00e1jdu. Pre\u010do nie som \u0161\u0165astn\u00fd, ve\u010f som bohat\u00fd a\u00a0sl\u00e1vny? Realita \u017eivota je tak\u00e1, \u017ee\u00a0namiesto Boha uctievame veci. A tie n\u00e1m m\u00f4\u017eu poskytn\u00fa\u0165 len do\u010dasn\u00e9 pote\u0161enie a\u00a0\u00fatechu, nikdy nie trval\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Vo\u00a0va\u0161om lete na\u00a0Medzin\u00e1rodn\u00fa vesm\u00edrnu stanicu boli e\u0161te \u010fal\u0161\u00ed traja kres\u0165ania. Je v\u00a0NASA ve\u013ea veriacich kres\u0165anov?<\/b><\/p>\n

Ide o\u00a0to, \u010do\u00a0rozumiete pod\u00a0slovom \u201eve\u013ea\u201c. Ale je ich tam celkom dos\u0165. Presn\u00e9 percento nepozn\u00e1m, no pracuj\u00fa vo\u00a0v\u0161etk\u00fdch oddeleniach NASA. <\/p>\n

Nevad\u00ed va\u0161im nadriaden\u00fdm, \u017ee\u00a0okrem NASA \u010di USA reprezentujete aj tento kres\u0165ansk\u00fd rozmer a\u00a0otvorene rozpr\u00e1vate o\u00a0svojej viere?<\/b><\/p>\n

Prizn\u00e1m sa, \u017ee\u00a0neviem. Ur\u010dite existuj\u00fa \u013eudia, ktor\u00fdm by vadilo verejn\u00e9 vyznanie kres\u0165ana, nech by zast\u00e1val ak\u00fako\u013evek funkciu. Ja sa v\u0161ak sna\u017e\u00edm cti\u0165 pravidl\u00e1 NASA. Napr\u00edklad na\u00a0tento rozhovor neprich\u00e1dzam ako astronaut, ale\u00a0ako jednotlivec, ktor\u00fd je n\u00e1hodou aj astronautom a\u00a0hovor\u00ed o\u00a0tom. Tieto dve veci s\u00fa neoddelite\u013en\u00e9. Nemysl\u00edm si, \u017ee\u00a0NASA m\u00e1 pr\u00e1vo zak\u00e1za\u0165 mi poskytova\u0165 s\u00fakromn\u00e9 rozhovory. Av\u0161ak mus\u00edm by\u0165 citliv\u00fd na tieto veci, ke\u010f nos\u00edm uniformu. Vtedy reprezentujem NASA a jej z\u00e1ujmy. Moje kres\u0165anstvo, samozrejme, nie je s\u00fa\u010das\u0165ou NASA a\u00a0nebolo by ani\u00a0f\u00e9rov\u00e9, keby som \u013eu\u010fom nie\u010do tak\u00e9 pods\u00faval. <\/p>\n

Jeden sovietsky kozmonaut po\u00a0n\u00e1vrate z\u00a0vesm\u00edru povedal, \u017ee\u00a0videl nebes\u00e1 z\u00a0opa\u010dnej strany, no \u017eiadneho Boha tam nestretol. \u010co si o\u00a0tom mysl\u00edte?<\/b><\/p>\n

V\u00f4bec ma to neprekvapuje. D\u00f4kazy o\u00a0existencii Boha s\u00fa vo\u00a0vesm\u00edre rovnako zjavn\u00e9 ako tu na\u00a0Zemi. Pokia\u013e nevid\u00edte Stvorite\u013ea v \u00fa\u017easn\u00fdch veciach tu na\u00a0Zemi, neuvid\u00edte Ho ani\u00a0vo vesm\u00edre. <\/p>\n

V\u00fdskum vesm\u00edru je medzin\u00e1rodn\u00fd. Slovensko malo v\u00a0minulosti tie\u017e svojho kozmonauta. Mysl\u00edte si, \u017ee\u00a0aj tak\u00e1 mal\u00e1 krajina ako t\u00e1 na\u0161a, m\u00f4\u017ee v bud\u00facnosti systematicky prispieva\u0165 k\u00a0spozn\u00e1vaniu kozmu?<\/b><\/p>\n

Je jasn\u00e9, \u017ee\u00a0pre\u00a0mnoh\u00e9 krajiny je to v\u00a0prvom rade ekonomick\u00e1 ot\u00e1zka. Ka\u017edop\u00e1dne, aj sk\u00fasenosti z\u00a0Medzin\u00e1rodnej vesm\u00edrnej stanice potvrdzuj\u00fa, \u017ee\u00a0spolupr\u00e1ca medzi r\u00f4znymi krajinami je pr\u00ednosn\u00e1. D\u00fafam, \u017ee\u00a0dvere bud\u00fa v\u017edy otvoren\u00e9 pre\u00a0ka\u017ed\u00e9ho, kto pr\u00edde a\u00a0povie, \u017ee\u00a0chce prilo\u017ei\u0165 ruku k\u00a0dielu. Mysl\u00edm si, \u017ee u v\u00e1s je ve\u013ek\u00fd z\u00e1ujem o\u00a0sk\u00famanie vesm\u00edru. Ak to Slov\u00e1ci takto c\u00edtia a\u00a0va\u0161a vl\u00e1da bude ma\u0165 z\u00e1ujem kr\u00e1\u010da\u0165 touto cestou, v\u00a0r\u00e1mci Eur\u00f3pskej vesm\u00edrnej agent\u00fary si ur\u010dite n\u00e1jdete osobitn\u00e9 miesto.<\/p>\n

M\u00e1te nejak\u00e9 posledn\u00e9 slov\u00e1 alebo posolstvo, ktor\u00e9 by ste chceli odk\u00e1za\u0165 na\u0161im \u010ditate\u013eom?<\/b><\/p>\n

Asi jedno z\u00a0najv\u00e4\u010d\u0161\u00edch zisten\u00ed, ku ktor\u00e9mu som po\u010das\u00a0svojej pr\u00e1ce dospel, je, \u017ee\u00a0\u013eudia na celom svete s\u00fa v\u00a0prvom rade \u013eu\u010fmi. Ke\u010f spozn\u00e1te \u013eud\u00ed v\u00a0ich srdciach, t\u00fa\u017ebach a\u00a0n\u00e1dejach, zist\u00edte, \u017ee\u00a0n\u00e1s toho viac sp\u00e1ja, ako rozde\u013euje. Chcel by som povzbudi\u0165 v\u0161etk\u00fdch, aby sa zauj\u00edmali o\u00a0svet za\u00a0ich vlastn\u00fdmi hranicami. Aby sa zauj\u00edmali najm\u00e4 o\u00a0\u013eud\u00ed, ktor\u00ed s\u00fa menej privilegovan\u00ed ako my a\u00a0ktor\u00ed trpia. Aj ke\u010f \u010dasto nem\u00e1me mo\u017enos\u0165, aby sme vycestovali za\u00a0nimi, mali by sme sa sna\u017ei\u0165 pochopi\u0165 ich tr\u00e1penie, venova\u0165 im \u010das a sna\u017ei\u0165 sa im pom\u00f4c\u0165. A hlavne pochopi\u0165, \u017ee\u00a0s\u00fa to \u013eudia ako my.<\/p>\n
