Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski will be Poland's second astronaut to travel to the International Space Station on Axiom Space's fourth mission. At a press event, he announced he will bring pierogi, a beloved Polish dumpling, reflecting cultural ties and personal comfort during his two-week journey. Other crew members will also take sentimental items, including family photos and national flags. Alongside the pierogi, Uznański will carry poetry and music from Polish artists, emphasizing the significance of cultural heritage even in space expeditions.
When Axiom Space's fourth mission to the International Space Station arrives this spring it will include Poland's second-ever astronaut, who will bring the essential comfort of pierogi.
