I had the good fortune to meet both of the Mongolian cosmonauts at the ASE Congress in Vienna in 1993. They were both extremely polite and humble, and intrigued as to why an Australian had travelled all the way to Vienna for the event. Very little English between them, but it was such an unforgettable pleasure to meet them. So sad to hear that Maidarzhavyn Ganzorig has now left us. Gone but certainly not forgotten by me. |
