'Die Astronautin': Private campaign seeks first German female astronaut [i]The search is on for Germany's 12th astronaut to fly into space. More Germans, after Americans and Russians, have been launched into orbit than astronauts from any other country — a total of eleven since 1978. But from Sigmund Jähn to Alexander Gerst, all eleven of the space fliers have been men. Now a private effort is underway to find, train and fly the first German woman to the International Space Station by 2020.[/i]
