“Fourth time in space for Roberto Vittori”: the Italian astronaut towards the record

The Italian Space Agency (ASI) has nominated the Italian ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori for a new mission on the International Space Station (ISS). If he managed to get back up there, he would become, on the threshold of 60 years, the first Italian astronaut in terms of number of missions (four, albeit short), and the first, but at this point also the only one, to splash towards orbit out of three. different vehicles.
